Super fun book. Sometimes it felt like it went on a little too long, but still a fun time overall. I will say that the biggest flaw for me was that the side characters are SO much more interesting to me than either of the co-mains. Not that Chloe or Shara are bad characters, but they werenβt my favorite. What I would give for a Smith Parker sequel. Come on, Casey! Lol

First, I have to recognize this was written to highschool aged teens, so I'm not it's demographic. This is about my experience, I'm sure this is someone's 5 star book and there are scenes here that could have changed my life if I read this when I was younger. That taken into consideration, the first part of this book felt to me like a watered down mix between a 90's teen romcom and The Inheritence Games, and that's not a compliment. Middle of this book is more interesting, showing characters discovering themselves and exploring both gender and orientation. The end of the book just decides to reprise the musical The Prom. And that's not a good thing.

ok so I actually really loved this??
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
um also Smith's gender exploration got me gasping and giggling and kicking my feet fr
