I liked this. I thought it was cute and it was a super fast read. I loved the themes in it. They did good with it and the representation. 
I was not expecting Leo to also be trans!! I thought that was a nice touch. And also that Leo and Kate didn’t end up together. I feel like a lot of books assume that a boy and a girl that are good friends must fall in love, but we should also learn to value platonic love.
