I really enjoyed this and particularly loved the layers of the story beyond the romance. There was a really good exploration of familial loss and grief through this book, though this means that people should check their trigger warnings before reading.

I liked the journey of both Ollie and Will, and how both came to realise that, though their feelings were valid, they had also been ignorant to how their actions and words impacted the other and grew from these events. In contrast to this though, I felt some of the side characters could've used a little of this, particulalry Lara, who I felt had her rude comments swept under the rug due to "finding herself" and never really acknowledged how rude she could be.

Overall, I really enjoyed this, though I did find myself wanting just a little bit more from it, and perhaps a bit more romantic interaction from the MCs. Despite this, it was a good time and anyone who enjoys YA LGBTQIA+ romance will likely enjoy this, too.

I saw queer grease retelling and was like 'sure!' totally forgetting that the entirety of what is good about grease is soundtrack and aesthetics. 
Luckily this good though! It doesn't really have any of the things I like about grease, but it's a cute fun ya romance with solid principles and I enjoyed it.

I love this author. Another great book about how we can grow and mature and not another example of the toxicity currently present in YA. So sweet. I loved it.
