I really enjoyed this book! It took a little bit to pick up pase but about 20% in I was hooked! The author does a really good job of writing dual perspective and both the MCs have a distinct voice.
This book does heavily center around homophobia, sexism, and bullying. At times it was difficult to read about the intense bullying Jack was facing. She faced a lot of homophobia and sexism so I would avoid this book if that triggers you.
I absolutely loved the ending and I felt it was very hopeful and satisfying while still addressing the ingrained homophobia in a conservative environment.
Highly recommend!
