I liked the book but many things were predictable. Also upset that there was the queer cheating trope. I think this is a good book for young people to read.

This book didn't speak to me as much as I thought it would. I think the cover is adorable, but I don't enjoy how the book is written. I'm tired of the can't-come-out-as-gay trope, I live that in my everyday life so reading about it is not enjoyable. I know the novel isn't focused on the queer relationship, but the cover insinuates the book is mainly about that relationship when it is a minuscule part.
