Really cute and tender exploration of growing out of old friendships, growing into yourself, and healing from a past you’re just beginning to understand. I wasn’t expecting the central conflict to be about a sexual assault, so that took me back a bit. However, the author weaves this story beautifully with rich and diverse characters and I appreciated her voice and heart. The timeline of events and skipping around in years felt a little clunky and, as most YA novels about gen z written by millennials do, some of the “woke” stuff felt contrived and stuffed in. Then again, I remember the way I talked in college at my tiny liberal arts school 😂 I really really liked the sweet and awkward

sex scene between Wes and Sav 🥹

The Wes storyline really grew on me, though at first the crush felt unnecessary. Overall, sweet and heartfelt read that made me feel warm and hopeful for my growth to continue even as a late 20-something 🩶
