while I found Chloe annoying at first, I've really grown attached to all those little gay characters.
this should kinda be mandatory reading for queer high schoolers who feel let down by the world

Just a reminder, this book suffers from the "Everything there is so good" syndrome. When you look back from this book on your life and remember the shit you are forced to deal with every day, it is not going to be the greatest experience of your life, you are going to be overwhelmed. The books are for dreaming, we just need to remember that it is more important how happy we are about our dreams and that we can push through understanding that dreams are not reality yet.
Reading notes:
Chloe: “I am not going to fall into Shara Wheeler’s game”
Also Chloe: *goes to find her*
Huh, I see Smith is just sport.
Yo, this is a YA novel where the main character says “I don’t drink” and people listen.
So Smith is queer? Glad we established that. (Chloe literally was like “The only people being cool with me being queer is other queer people. Hm.”)
How did Chloe not figure out yet that Smith and Rory were best friends?
Oh no, it is the part of the book, where the main character ignores their best friend in the middle of something really important.
Rory is way too obsessed with Shara, it is kinda weird.
Rory is like, a very privileged dyslexic person? I am dyslexic and I never ask people to read stuff to you, you just force yourself to get better, because people are not always going to be there. Sounds rough, but it is not realistic for him to not be able to read things like labels with two letters and he will not immediately hand stuff to other people.
Shara probably wrote notes for Rory and Smith too, they just did not share them with each other (Chloe included) in the same way that Chloe will not share hers. Also, white font colour is not invisible ink.
Why did we stop counting down the days to graduation?
Maybe, I got overconfident in the book and it is actually written for straight people, seeing the whole dialog between Smith and Ash.
Rory is gonna come to the conclusion that he is either not interested in girls or not interested in anyone and he was only interested in Shara, because it seemed like the right thing, right?
So Shara did make her lose by taking all her attention. And friendships too.
Bro, Smith told you that Shara is also his, like, best friend, of course he cared enough about her to keep calling her. You do not have to date someone to call them, when they disappear.
It is kinda funny that Shara would jump out of a car to not think that she might be gay.
Me when I agree with Shara. I totally expected her and Chloe to get right into doing stuff the second they got into Chloe’s home. The vibes are immaculate.
I wish there wasn’t the whole stereotype of “Yeah, my parents explained me sex, but it was way too awkward”. Like they might as well just read you bible.
I AM LISTENING TO THE AUDIOBOOK AND THE PERSON READ OUT SHFJSDKHFJSDHF AND THAT IS SUCH A VIBE.

The Sexual assault and Rape tags are for something, that is mentioned in like a sentence. The main character mentions, that there was a girl, who got thrown out of school, because the dude she send her nudes to spread them around the school.
