A heart-wrenching debut to a wonderful series, leaving me hungry for volume 2! Oseman's simplistic style helps the pages fly by as the great will-they-won't-they unfolds at Truman Grammar School for Boys.

A scene has a character try to force another character to kiss them while claiming that the other character "wants it" which is very reminiscent of sexual assault. Another character breaks the two up before anything too serious happens.

comfort read. i just love seeing queer teens living the life i didnt get to. the story is realistic, not downplaying the homophobia but also not turning it into "suffer porn". the characters are relatable and behave like actual teenagers, we dont get that a lot even in the ya genre. the only downside is it finishes really quickly :/
