I never accepted his promise from earlier, but he keeps it anyway. He doesn't let me fall.

This reminded me why I still read YA books from time to time. They usually don't click with me, but this one just hit different. I was not expecting all of the discussions that were had in this little book: from familial love to childhood trauma, I felt that it was all done very well. Not only was I smiling and giggling to myself like a total fool, I also found myself tearing up multiple times because I just loved the dynamic between Jonah and his little sisters. Having two little sisters myself, Jonah's thoughts and fears brought up so many feelings in me; I just loved him as a character. All of the darker moments (please refer to the author's comment on Goodreads for trigger warnings) were beautifully balanced by cute and somewhat cringey scenes like PDA and Jonah acting the clown.

I totally recommend the audiobook, it was really well done - the spanish was gorgeous!

All the shining stars for this absolutely beautiful book!!! I could not stop reading, I was so captivated by Jonah and Dylan’s intertwining stories. This book puts them through so much, tackles so many difficult topics, and watching them learn to lean on each other as feelings blossomed was just beautiful. I cannot recommend this queer young adult romance enough — truly superb.

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.

I knew this was going to be a 5 star read from the jump. I loved it so much!!! My beautiful bisexual babies with the world on their shoulders!!! They’re enemies, they’re lovers, they’re fake dating, they’re comforting each other and figuring out the world together! I ate it all up. I thought the tough topics were handled with care and I fell in love with these boys and their stories.

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.)
