This was a really cute, fun, light read! Captured the complex nostalgic feelings one feels at the end of high school very well. I really liked that miscommunication was not a central conflict. Loved the Jewish representation and how it showed that there is more than one way to be Jewish. I also thought it handled the topic of teenage sex in a way that was respectful and non-objectifying while still acknowledging that it happens.
