I liked this a bit more than Simon versus the Homosapiens Agenda. And the theatre references made me miss high school drama club 😭 (I was on stage crew, but still!)

For the majority, this is probably a run-of-the-mill, if above average, YA/coming of age novel. But for me specifically, there were events and emotions and situations – both in the synopsis and otherwisee – that rang far too true and formative. Stellar book.

when Matt told her that he was gay, and Andy told her that they’re dating. My heart dropped both times because I could feel Kate’s disappointment so intensely. I was to be honest first mad with Andy as well, but I later started to understand his behaviour and that he didn’t want to out Matt without his consent. The only thing here that I didn’t find too realistic is how fast Kate was over MattModerate: Alcohol, Bullying, and Mental illness

The chapters are very short and its a very easy read, easily a book you can read in the span of one day, even if you're a slow reader
