might actually be my favorite book now, despite me saying this for a lot of new books i read. but seriously this was a really good book!! 
i really liked the diversity of the characters and how when i read, they seemed to come to life. it was a realistic situation, how ophelia was scared of coming out to her friends and family to avoid shattering their image of a boy-crazy girl. it was relatable to a certain degree given that i am also a queer teenager that hasnt properly figured out labels. 
my favorite character is definitely wesley. he is just a generally very lovable character, although i will admit i disliked him at the beginning. he kind of is like a precious cinnamon roll! i dont really know exactly why i love him, but he seems like the kind of person i would desperately want to be acquainted with. 
a character that i mildly dislike is lindsay. shes one of those people that i would avoid being associated with, but thats just a personal opinion.
im not over her telling only ophelia and agatha about having no interest in the boys after graduating, also that she jumped to conclusions so fast, but it was all resolved in the end so 🤷🏻‍♀️.

they really are just fictional people and a fictional plot, but it’s a lot like reality tbh
i have yapped for too long and i should stop procrastinating my assignments, but i absolutely love this book and would absolutely recommend reading this!!
