Didn’t find this to be engaging or fresh or cute at all. I couldn’t feel any chemistry between the MCs and I honestly didn’t care if they did or did not get together. I wasn’t rooting for either character… it’s not like I disliked them or anything, I just couldn’t get myself to care because they were so flat. I think a few stronger side characters would have also helped this a bit. And the writing and dialogue were just… bad! I’ve forgotten everything about this book and I just finished it!! If blah was a book, this would be it.

I think the characters of this novel are a little flat; it wasn’t immediate as the reader to fall in love with them as the protagonists seem to do as soon as they lay eyes on each other. I wish they had more moments and conversations courting each other rather than fighting over coming out or their approach to romance. Not a bad novel, but not the best YA lesbian romcom I’ve read either.

Omg, I loved this book!

I absolutely loved that it wasn't just some instant "I love you" book. 
This book was sweet and heartwrenching at the same time!

Great picture of how it sometimes is, when everyone around you isn't supportive. 

Major Mommie-issues - but that's a talk for another time.
