Okay, I loved this. There were some absolutely great characters in here, and if you're looking for YA m/m romance, I would absolutely recommend this. Jules' journey tugs on your heart, but it's about him learning to accept himself and that he has more courage than he knows. His little found family always has his back, and all of the characters were fully fleshed out, making you want to be a part of their little group.

The romance in this was also sweet, starting online and moving on from there. I loved how supportive they both were of each other, and you were rooting for them to work it out throughout the whole book. This might be one I have to own and file it away as one to read when I just want a good romance. Can't wait to see what else Villa writes!

Queer brown boys! It was cute and angry. Didn't love it, but I did enjoy the read.
