A sweet YA romance with great POC and queer rep, as well as a Deaf love interest. Felt VERY true-to-life as I remember high school, with Big Feelings and small dramas and fears about the future.

I already find the mc’s descriptions of other people to be kind of gross and his friendship with his ex girlfriend to be so weird. No thanks.

Here is the thing, I like this author a lot. I enjoyed "Felix Ever After". I was hopeful. I just found a lot of the characters bit annoying. I was so proud of Ollie for standing upstairs for himself when he was treated bad by Nate. But I really didn't like Flo for most of the book. 

I thought the ending was sweet though.  It is about growing and dealing with pushing boundaries. Overall, 2.5

It’s really creepy that someone wrote a bunch of sixteen year olds as obsessed with sex. Sex and relationships are ALL they talk about, and it’s creepy. The pacing is super fast, and not in a good way. To put it into perspective: I was 15 pages from the end and I thought about quitting then and there because I hated all of these characters so much. Don’t waste your time with this one folks, it’s not worth the agony.
