I enjoyed a YA book! Will wonders never cease. The story is fast-paced, well-written, and hard to put down. The class tensions of the town and high school feel archetypal without being (overly) clichéd, and the tensions between the main characters are drawn out nicely throughout the book. 

Some of the clues in the writing felt a little ham-handed (Steve! Was acting! Weird! Was Steve acting weird? Steve was acting so weird!!), but on the whole it was a really fun read.

Definitely left the ending open for more books 👀
Shipped the main characters so hard but I'm thinking they're both straight, unfortunately.

This is very definitely YA, with the drama cranked up to 11. And these kids were way more sophisticated than I ever was in high school. Still, a fun read that makes me want to dive in the sequel.
