If you could put all highschool summer vibes into one book, this would be it, I'm constantly rereading it and I love the characters so much. There's definitely sad scenes especially for fellow members of the LGBTQIA+ Community, showcasing our struggle finally feel yourself. But this found family, lighthearted book always fills me with warmth and 7 year old giddyness. Definitely going to pick up Robbie Couches other work.

Audiobook - 4 hours 27 minutes - I absolutely adored this book. I love all of the characters a lot, especially Sky, the main character. When I first started reading this, I thought his voice and narrative might be annoying but I ended up loving reading from his perspective. All of the side characters were incredibly likeable and 3-dimensional as well, and didn't feel like diversity for the sake of diversity. The plot was also a pleasant surprise - often LGBTQ YA contemporary books have a similar sort of plot, which isn't inherently a bad thing, but this book was a refreshing change. While it wasn't that dissimilar to the standard plot, there were multiple side-plots that focused on different sets of characters which made the book feel more realistic. And I loved the ending with my whole heart.
