This was a sweet read, predictable but in the best way, considering it's a romance and just enough to make you smile by the end of it.

This book, you guys. This effing book. I am so full of love and joy and gratitude that I got to read this, experience this, be a part of this incredible story. Let me tell you: I graduated high school almost four years ago now. My best-friend-turned-girlfriend and I just broke up two weeks ago, and I've spent every day since crying. Reading this book was the first time I cried because of something else - and let me clarify: I cried happy tears.
This felt like a homecoming, like a warm hug, like that gentle reminder You belong here. You're queer enough. Your mistakes aren't irredeemable. You're enough. You are not unlovable.
I couldn't have asked for a better comfort read if I'd tried.
proper RTW when I manage to collect my thoughts properly

Super cute. Definitely the kind of YA I wish had been around when I was a kid.

4.5. This book really surprised me. It was well-written and witty, and for the first time in a while, it was teenage characters that were actually fleshed out. I came for the love triangle, but I stayed for the heart. Darcy runs a love advice service through a locker in her high school. She's anonymous until one person finds out--Brougham. Wow, I love sweet Brougham. It defies gender stereotypes without being written like the author really wanted to crumble the patriarchy. I loved the discussion of attachments styles; my high school life would've been completely different if I had realized I had both an anxious and avoidant attachment style (but that's neither here nor there). Also, can I just say how happy I was about the One Direction reference? Normally I hate pop culture references, but I thought Gonzales put in just enough! The conversation surrounding bisexuality and the bi experience was so (from my perspective as a straight gal) well-handled and explored deeply. Darcy has some tough internalized misconceptions about herself, and Gonzales handled them very well. Yeah, this book was both super cute and incredibly heartfelt.

God damn it, I worship at the altar of Sophie Gonzales.
