This book could be fun and frustrating at the same time. The characters are interesting but the book's refusal to even say the word "bisexual" is ridiculous as one character

debates whether they are straight or gay

. There are a few moments of blatant fatphobia despite one character

literally suffering from an eating disorder

. There was also a gross comment fetishizing mixed race babies from the only known poc character in the book which was uncomfortable. Additionally, there is a romantic relationship between a 19yr old and a 25-26yr old (aka a high schooler and a college graduate) which is super questionable. Otherwise the story is okay, nothing too remarkable. The characters often feel flat with only one or two big traits.

the mental health handeling was a bit delicate at times, but I loved the representation of the different types of love
