3.75

- 3.5-3.75/5
- Ace! Rep!
- I like that Wren is, and excuse my language, a little bit of a bitch. He's a teenage boy! He's irrational and messy and rash, yes, but still innately kind. 
- realistic problems with realistic reactions (given that they are dramatic teenagers in high school)
- I really love that Leo rejects Wren (at first). Thank God for self-preservation and knowing that you deserve better! Consequently, I am glad that Wren sincerely apologizes for how unfairly he's treated Leo. Not only does Leo genuinely deserve that apology, but Wren needs to learn how to apologize, too! I still struggle with this, but, when your humor is mostly sarcastic and cutting, there is a thin line between humor and hurt. 
- That being said, I wish that we saw Wren and Leo navigating how to be a couple, with Wren trying not to hurt Leo anymore (i.e. tone down his biting sarcasm), and Leo learning to trust Wren.

- I wish that Wren and his fathered talked.

Picked up the book because of the Ace rep and honestly it was really something that I felt younger high school me would have wanted to read that would explain a lot of the feelings I was having before realizing my own asexuality later on in college. Wren’s asexuality was written (imo) really well especially when realizing their feelings clicking into place just suddenly. It’s such a hard feeling to express but reading it really just hit big time. The romance was cute and at times it really feels obvious what’s going on but you can’t help but keep on reading wanting the characters to catch on what you know and it just has you kicking your feet. Honestly a fun read, very fun and interesting characters, and a good pick me up when you just want something light hearted.
