I really really enjoyed this book!! Morris and Ellie were so freaking cute and sweet. Morris is such a cinnamon roll toward Ellie but if anyone threatens her, they better watch out! 

There's also Pansexual and non-binary representation!

**Spoilers**
My only issue is there wasn't a resolution by the end of the book. Some time traveling aliens basically said everything's gonna be okay and our MCs are gonna be apart of that resolution but it wasn't shown, we were just told about it. Seemed kind of anticlimactic after such an amazing book.
