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.

1.0

my biggest issue with this book is that they kept referring to kate as her deadname in her chapter titles etc, and that leo kept calling her that after she told him. furthermore, i noticed that in the official book description online (and i’m assuming most copies) that kate is referred to with her deadname which is 😬 (on my copy she’s only referred as kate). the second half is much more enjoyable than the first. i love kate i think she’s great she really carried the book imo, leo’s cool, kate’s friends are cool, but that’s kinda it.
