Trigger warnings: biphobia, abusive parents, divorce, cheating, emotionally distant parents, emotional manipulation

GOD THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD. The cast of characters is immaculate, the slow build of the romance is to die for, the main character's development arc was expertly executed, the humour is god tier just !!!!!!! excellence !!!!!! Darcy is so incredibly self aware yet unaware it makes her super funny and really endearing. You're rooting for the happiness of all the characters throughout the book and the payoff at the end is amazing. I loved the random high school musical conspiracy theory thrown in plus the book overall felt contemporary to teens these days (although I am not one myself nor am surrounded by them so I can't really say for sure. It just felt right). The talk around queer identities, bisexuality and biphobia, consent and communication...just stellar work. Incredible.
