Okay, so this definitely hits more into the new adult genre rather than YA - protag is about to go into college, love interest is in college.
There was nothing redeeming about this book for me. Hated the protagonist's decisions and how long she took to follow through with her own decisions (which prolonged and created *drama*), hated the parents for not realizing how toxic they were being, hated how toxic the protagonist was to relationships and how negative she was.
The OCD/anxiety representation was great as well as discussion about depression while separated from support network. That was about the only redeeming part of this book.
*contains heavy kissing scenes and language*

“May you always have that top-of-the-Empire-State-Building kind of love.”

This was sweet and poignant. A little too easy but enjoyable.

I don't know if it's just a sign that I'm officially old, or if it's just this couple, but I left this book thinking, nah you two should just stay friends. This is a high school romance and that's it. This is not to last.
I actually really liked them as friends.
And I thought the relationship was cute enough.
But good god him not listening to her about not liking huge romantic gestures. And her just not being on the same page about relationships.
Part of it might be that I didn't love Quin or the narrator. I found Quin to be just annoying in most cases, except when she finally spoke up to her family. But I also didn't hugely dislike her.
I thought it was a cute book, but yeah I think overall they should decide to just stay really good friends.
I did love the Jewish rep and could definitely relate to a lot of how Quin felt.

Weather Girl was my introduction to Rachel Lynn Solomon, and this was my introduction to her YA oeuvre. While less steamy than Weather Girl (okay, a high bar to clear), it was rich in the things I’ve come to expect from her: Jewish representation, good things to say about mental health, and people falling in love with each other as well as themselves. The wedding backdrop made for some creative moments.
