After receiving new information regarding how the Goodreads algorithm works and how it can punish authors if they drop below 5 stars, I am only rating on a 5 or 1 scale now until it's fixed and there's room for nuanced discussion and reviews.

Okay, this was pretty good. Not too crazy. Not too annoying. High schoolers feeling unseen (or too seen) and dealing with life and relationships. I would have definitely loved this when I was in high school.

“It feels like an asterisk after my name, or a warning label on the back of my head”

“I don't want someone to look at me and tell me my sexuality is a deal breaker. I don't want to be pressured or to be a disappointment. I want to be Wren and I want that to be enough, and that's not going to happen.”

A very, very funny YA romance with just the right amounts of angst and fluff. Absolutely every reader knows going in what the resolution of the "who is this mystery person on a chat app" plot line will be—if you've at all read the cover blurb, you probably know already—but the journey to the destination is absolutely delightful. Like all romcom fans I'm a sucker for a ridiculous situation and a load of snappy, humorous dialogue, and this book delivers like an overachieving student body president.

This was so cute and funny and emotional my cheeks are hurting from all the smiling!
Wren’s voice is so entertaining and real. The author talks about difficult and serious topics like grief and regret in a profound yet light way.
Loved all the characters and Leo was sooo sweet and tall
