This book was so beautiful! Reminded me vaguely of Every Soul a Star by Wendy Mass (just in terms of how the book made me think and feel while reading and that it is about high schoolers). I am so glad to have read an incredible girl*girl romance that was sweet and cute! Read so many cute gay stories that were boy*boy, I was tired of all the men on the page!! A cool thing is that I chose my Cleopatra bookmark for this book before starting it to find out that Nic is studying archeology for the summer! I like how the book described teenage feelings, and it is also a surprisingly progressive book for being published in 2001! Brings me joy to see that publishing year for this book :)
