I really enjoyed this book. Not only was it adorable, I loved how great it was at displaying that not all romance and other relationships are easy. <Spoiler> I really appreciated that at the end, even though we would like it to happen, the parents did not come around. Because unfortunately that happens to many and those relationships are not always mended. I will say I screamed at the book whenever the two "best friends" showed up, even though I know they were necessary and real characters. </Spoiler/> But overall I really enjoyed the book. This story was beautifully written and I recommend it to anyone who wants a good, reflective, and wonderfully queer story. (Also the cover art is so gorgeous, I absolutely adore it!!!)
