An enjoyable fluffy quick read that touches on some deeper moments. If you enjoyed Heartstopper, I would recommend this but do check the TWs first. I can't wait to read more of Dugans books!

I thought that this book was a precious snapshot of first love, coming out, and changing your little corner of the world. Ruby and Morgan were adorable and frustrating together, but also they were complete people on their own. I loved the cast of side characters who were there to support the girls, particularly Morgan's friends from her LGBT Pride Club and Morgan's former stepfather, Billy. This is just a very sweet slice of queer girl life, and I loved it.

I deducted a star just because I didn't think there was anything particularly special about the writing. I didn't think it was bad, but it also isn't the thing that I'm going to think about when I think about the book in the future. The character work, however, I think was really good.

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.
