I loved this one. The characters leapt off the page and the romance is really cute. It didn't just do the cute and warm well, it also discussed dark topics and themes in a realistic and empathetic way. I love the callouts to very real and important movements, I hope this inspires research in those who haven't encountered them before. It's very readable; I finished very quickly and can't wait for a new release from this author. For fans of <i>Cafe Con Lychee, Felix Ever After, and The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School</i>. Contemporary YA romance with a good sense of humour and its heart in the right place. I won't soon forget these characters and their intense sense of loyalty, love, and friendship.
