Maybe it’s just that I know what being a queer kid looks like, and it looks nothing like me. 

Becky Albertalli managed to write a super cute, love-bubbly rom-com while raising concern about the main issues within the queer community. This book deserves 5 stars and more. Gretchen was a mere representation of the black and white thinking we can find anywhere online, and for that I found her character quintessential to Imogen’s growth. I’m glad that Imogen finally found clarity within herself and that she found her community. Her text messages with Tessa were so playful and flirtatious, they had me giggling and kicking my feet all the time!
