- Strong character development? It's complicated
2.5
Moderate: Homophobia and Lesbophobia
The religious aspect is very heavy in this story. The dad is trying but what he asks of his daughter is problematic and never really gets resolved.siriface's review

2. I have an issue sometimes with people who middle-aged and older writing young adult novels about teenagers because 9 times out of 10, they don't know what they're doing when they're writing these teenaged characters and they come off as completely unbelievable. No teenager talks like that or acts like that.
3. Insta-attraction is a no-go for me. Almost always an immediate DNF.
Moderate: Ableism and Homophobia

But honestly, it's been a while so I had to get used to that. And when I got over myself, I quite enjoyed the book. Look, Dana was an a very annoying best friend imo. The homophobic people from Georgia weren't the greatest either (fuck Jessica!). But my goodness, I loved BTB, Mary Carlson & George. Not everything about this was the greatest like the plot basically being her having to hide her gay which just gives us some miscommunication and lying to have a plot. But I enjoyed the ride.
