This book is everything I could have wished for as a freshly graduated lgbtq+ person. If you need some hope for the future and things are a bit difficult for you rn, this is the book you should read. Loved it so much. It might be my new bible!

Super quick, fun, and adorable summer read!

LIKES:
1) queer rep
2) diverse backgrounds (economic and racial)
3) full cast narrators
4) I loved how they used the sound effects the audiobook so it felt like they were actually texting and FaceTiming and leaving voicemails. It was very well done.

DISLIKES:
1) It felt like a lot was going on in these boys lives and I kind of wouldn’t have minded if they spent some more time with the characters instead of jumping around so much.

Simultaneously had a little too much and not enough going on. Plus they seriously underutilized Heath, who was, in my opinion, the best character. But overall, cute, fun, and I love the moments that the group had all together.

A book with four male characters and none of them are horribly toxic... surprisingly good.
