For a good portion of the book I wasn’t too sure if I was enjoying it as I really did not like Noah. I had to keep reminding myself that he is a teenage boy still learning about life to get me through it! However this story is all about his growth and development as a person through his big life changes. As the changes started to become more obvious, and he started to grow as a person, I really started to connect with him and like him so much more. 

In the end, I was crying happy tears and thoroughly enjoying it! Emery does an amazing job at writing the characters and their flaws. E has done some incredible world building for the characters and really made them real, raw, and flawed characters. This was definitely a good read, and I would recommend it.

This is a completely subjective review. I really thought I would enjoy this book  a lot but kinda had to fight my way to finishing it. I wasn’t a fan of the character’s personalities. I don’t think I’ve ever rolled my eyes as much while reading a book as with this one. It’s definitely not the typical fake dating story you usually read and I don’t quite think I’m a fan of that.
I did enjoy the second half/last third of the book a lot more than the beginning which could also be because the characters became more likable for me.
What was nice was actually seeing the characters grow and learn from their behavior. I also quite enjoyed reading about a character who was figuring out which pronouns to use, who didn’t just stop at they/them but explored further. Definitely my favorite character in this book.

lmao not me taking forever reading this book because one of the characters has my ex-boyfriend’s name 🫣😵‍💫 lol Minus that this was a ya that had great rep when it came to diversity but our MC Noah was a tad too annoying / unaware & selfish when it came to their behavior. I should have expected that seeing as how most teenagers can be this way but it took me a minute to acknowledge this was a permanent part of his persona. I would still read this for the rep but be mindful of some of the manipulation & toxicity from Drew 💀
