Ugh this book had me in my feels!! I don’t even have the proper words to explain how I really feel about this book. I love Harper, I just wanted to hug that sweet baby angel! I love that she had Robbie so she wasn’t quite alone with her ability. I love that she did her best to give Chloe an incredible summer despite it breaking her heart.

This was a very cute read. I loved how Harper and Chloe are so very different from each other yet they find those differences make who they are and they simply love each other. There’s this quote I really liked from the book that explains who they are to each other in a way:

”Chloe started a new era where I could see more than just a few different shades.”

The concept of this book combined with romance was interesting to the say the least and

I love the technicality at the end ;)

I hate her epilogues though. They’re so short and filled with nothing especially after a chapter that is full of emotion, etc. They could be so much better to where I feel like I got something that helps my curiosity or whatever.

I don't much like books that make me cry. Honestly I don't like it at all. I kind of resent it. But this book made me all out, face in my hands, sobbing on my bed, cry like a little baby and I absolutely loved it.

Siera Maley is quickly becoming a fave.

Very good premise, solidly good execution. The main characters were a little flat. The pacing of the book was breakneck which was great, but I easily could see this book being twice as long. Three times, even. The ending, too, felt extremely abrupt.

Call me messed up, but I wish she would’ve went with the darker ending. It would’ve been bold, ballsy, And incredibly emotional. As it is, I do like it in theory but, as with the book as a whole, the execution could be better. There’s a pretty huge change right at the end and, even though I can use context clues and GUESS what might’ve sparked the change, the author didn’t really make anything clear.

Overall, a pleasant read.

I love YA books with a captivating story line and LGBTQ characters! What makes this book great is that the story isn’t focused on the characters’ lesbian identity, but it also doesn’t neglect to mention the struggles faced by LGBTQ teens. Props to the author for writing lesbian characters that feel genuine!

I enjoyed the pace of the book and found that I couldn’t put it down once I got to the last few chapters. I couldn’t tell where the story was going to end up, and I love that!
