This was a rough read. The heavy homophobia and other bigotry certainly does not make this an easy read. The characters were lovely and I kept wishing them all the best, so I kept pushing through so I could get to their happy ending. And I’ll always be a sucker for the lesbian’s himbo best friend <3

I did not expect to love this book but I did! I am guilty of judging a book by its cover and by the cover I thought it was going to be another cheesy, poorly written romance. It most definitely was not. I fell so in love with these characters and what they were going through. They are so relatable and there is so much to unpack in this story.

A cute quick read about two young teens finding their way back to each other. A bit cliche + stereotypical at times but full of queer love and cheesiness in the best way possible.

I'm picky about prose when I read, and the prose in this book didn't grip me or feel very indulgent. I still think it was well written though, and I was completely swept away in the story!

A quick read that I ate through in 2 days. I felt well immersed in the setting and characters, and I cried through part of the book. Every part of the story was very well thought out, and I would probably even read it again some time.

If you're looking for a 'young lesbian in a conservative town' story, I couldn't recommend this book more highly :)

Especially if you want a happy ending or want to feel seen.

Check out the content warnings btw

Absolutely no notes. Beautiful story. Thought I had made it through without crying and then I read the last 3 chapters.
