Oh my goodness, this was beautiful. Definitely a rom-com but in a way that allowed for it to touch on some very important and raw subjects too that are often left out of young adult novels and I felt it also portrayed some queer narratives that I don’t often see in books or on the screen such as where youth are out to supportive parents and able to be themselves at home and around each other, but not at school/ in public.

This is such teenage/high school drama, but man I ate it up! I'm a sucker for these tropes especially in queer relationships, and Jack and Amber so delivered. There were so many twists, each one pretty unpredictable. Props to the narrators here, too--they really brought new life to these already lively girls.

"Home Field Advantage" is a cute romance that tackles what it's like being queer in a conservative small school. Parts are frustrating and sad, of course, but it's beautiful to see love win. Jack is my favorite character here and now one of my favorite characters ever. I definitely recommend this book.

This was so cute! It had some darker storylines than I expected, but the overall story was really sweet and inspiring.

I wish Amber had had to confront her shitty behavior a bit more throughout. Though I completely understand her reservations about coming out, she was not a very good friend to Miguel or Jack at times and acted pretty selfishly. However, the small-town high school romance vibes were on point and the conflict did make sense to the story.
