I really enjoyed this book! It was super cute, and I was invested in Issa's and Alex's relationship. I have read a lot of ya romance that I didn't really care for as an adult, i.e. the main character was too juvenile so I didn't even like them, but this was refreshing. I would definitely recommend this to any high schooler who is looking for a romantic story.
Graphic: Mental illness and Racism
Moderate: Suicide attempt
This isn't an option for CW, but there is also several instances of toxic parents - no physical abuse.
