Easily relatable and heartfelt. This is a slow burn love story that makes you desperately root for love to conquer all of life’s misgivings.

When I started this book I was afraid I wouldn't like it. The first few chapters were so stuffed with information about all the queer characters that I feared the story would feel shallow and patronizing. Boy, was I wrong. I loved this book and the people in it soooo much. It made me smile, it made me cry, it made me feel all the things. It feels very fanfiction-y in the best possible way ♡

Jonah broke my heart, Dylan was such a well-written character. I loved how they both slowly realized not only their feelings but also that they had people who were just there for them, no questions asked. 
Wonderfully written enemies-to-lovers storyline, both heartbreaking and hopeful. (Also, Dylan was so caring and Jonah deserves all the hugs and naps.)

This is a very good book. I loved the characters and the story and i can say I've never read anything like this in terms of it being a YA book. 
Dylan and Jonah are a great duo who have moments that really seem to jump of the page and so much chemistry it could set a house a light. 


Crying Score: No, but probably yes if I didn't read it in public.
