Perfect little YA with complexity read. Read this as a little pick me up and would recommend for anyone looking for a “all the boys I’ve ever loved” meets “heart breaker” meets tolerable miscommunication trope.

I want a book all about Finn next.

This was super heckin' cute!

I actually don't have a whole lot else to say other than that. The last contemporary I read before this was May the Best Man Win by Z.R. Ellor, which was another queer high school romance and, in comparison to the angsty trash fire that book was, this was an utterly wonderful breath of fresh air.

I also am a big fan of the plotline following Darcy's struggle with the validity of her sexuality. I think it's really nice and cool to focus on a bisexual character who is afraid to date someone of the opposite gender because she thinks she won't be "queer enough."

This was wonderful and I recommend it to anyone looking for a really cute, fun high school romance!

Couldn't finish- I didn't find myself engaged in the story.

Am I still in my YA era? Yes. 

This was fun and cute and had lots of representation. Am I like why wasn’t I making money off secretly giving relationship advice to others  when I was in high school? Yes.

Quite educational without being dry! Poignant at many points and laugh out loud funny at others. I didn't really love the FMC but she still made sense to me and also grew. Will read more of her books
