A super fun summer read! The framing of the central plot as a kind of romantic choose-your-own-adventure is unique, and I like the way that both of the plots weave together, even in separate universes. My biggest complaint would be that the romances feel a tiny bit underbaked because they each only get half a book’s worth of development, but this is honestly such summery, breezy fun that it doesn’t even matter.

a surprisingly delightful listen <3 also found myself preferring the LA side of the story w/ Adam, but I just pretend that the two storylines take place in parallel universes for the best of both worlds

This was a very good queer YA rom-com. This book was immediately on my radar since I have read Cool for the Summer and cover looks adorable. I was really happy to get approved for an ARC and glad to say that I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I was happy to say that this book had a good amount teenage angst and lots of feels involved. I thought the romance really worked and I believed in them but I could have added another 2-3 chapters easily. Really fast-paced so it’s perfect to get you out of a slump.
