This was a cute read, altho it felt slow at times pacing-wise. Recommend to anyone who loves a tsundere, an angy l'il guy. Also - a rare story where I felt like the best friend character was fun and didn't just feel like a spot to drop some token diversity (I feel like a lot of authors do this - diversify their writing in very lip service ways by making minor characters POC or queer but not giving them depth) and instead really added nuance to the story. Ryan's got her own quiet journey that she can't perfectly articulate to Wren, but they work through the distance between them in a comedic way that fits perfectly with the tone of the book. Ryan and Wren also really feel like family - it's very real and very sweet.

4.5*, this was soo funny and had such great concepts with the Dance/app and Love Locks, with amazing ace and aroace rep. And honestly, Wren was so valid for hating Leo for having a locker above him and eating bananas without pulling off the strips

4.5* I loved the fact the story wasn't super drama filled and fast paced, while enough was happening to completely suck me into it. I thought the characters were super likeable and I was rooting for the "should be" couple from close to the beginning. I loved the anonymous chats that you could read every few pages, and how it all came together in the end, aaaah yes!! I do wish the ending part was longer though. When I finally got to the part I'd been hoping for, the book was soon finished. :( Anyways lovely ace story.
