But anyway, even without knowing the original, this was just an overall fun time. Not that it doesn't deal with some deeper, more serious themes like grief, anxiety, and mental health, but it does so with Rosen's signature style. A lot of the tone in this one reminded me of [book:Jack of Hearts|35442720], so if you like that book, you'll probably enjoy this one! Honestly, if you enjoy any of Rosen's YA works, it's a safe bet you'll enjoy Emmett.
The characters were pretty well-rounded in this one, and the way the romance played out was definitely very rom-com-esque. I did feel like the relationship at the end felt a little rushed, with a little bit of a quick turnaround in how Emmett feels about dating as a teenager in general. But it's a short book, so everything happened very fast in general.
All in all, if you enjoy queer retellings of classics, definitely pick this one up!
