SO MUCH FUN!!!!! Campy and silly and dramatic and just a fun little gay blast. I felt like the mid point conflict between the main couple was a little rushed but I overall understood the flow and why it happened. Just a super fun time overall

SECOND BEST BOOK IVE READ THIS YEAR. Wow. And I doubt that it will ever get moved down!! 

The story was AMAZING. So compelling. I cried twice. I loved the writing so much!! I think the romance was also done exceptionally well!! The buildup was perfect and both Ruben and Zach were both such well written characters and their individual faults were so realistic! 
Another round of applause for the side characters!! Usually I struggle to remember the side characters in books, especially if there are many but not these characters!! Even the ones that I despised were memorable and they all contributed to the plot in meaningful ways. 
Overall 10/10!! Can’t think of any major issues I had with it. Only request would be to

expand on Angel and Jon some more!! I loved them I needed to see even more. I want to find out how Angel deals with staying sober and how Jon ends up dealing with his dad and everything!!

 
Honestly can see this book having a sequel and while I don’t believe that will happen, it’s pretty unrealistic, I CAN STILL DREAM!!
