I enjoyed it!! I was inbetween giving it a 3.5-4 just because I liked it, I didn’t have any big issues, but also it wasn’t that intriguing for me and I wasn’t ever on the edge of my seat or anything. 
But, I also want to add that i’m not really the targeted demographic, as an asexual. A lot of Jay’s thoughts weren’t really relatable to me, and the only character I felt connected to was Max, as someone who’s genderqueer! I feel like allosexuals would relate to this book more then I did, but it was still nice!

this book made me wanna scream at jay like why is he so immature he is 18 years old good lord </3 like im sorry but i dont care if youve never been in a relationship before, most people know just by default that sleeping with someone else while youre going on dates with another person is Maybe not the Best Decision to make. like hello??? baby you grew up in washington, not on mars

also this book managed to be sex focused while feeling like it was written for children. HOW is that possible. im a little bit in awe

It was gay so of course it wasn’t bad. But the main character’s inner monologue was about sex every 3 minutes and I am a bit too asexual to really enjoy that. Jay is who people talk about when they say ‘being gay is your whole personality’ and while I don’t blame him and it is understandable, it was still quite annoying.
