This is now my third read and I still love this book so much. I think what really makes it special to me is Ollie. I love how he behaves, how he is written and how he talks; especially his "emo" aesthetic makes him just pretty relatable to me, I think. 

This book is a fast, mostly light-hearted read and yet it still touches on darker topics, but in a way that I can really appreciate.

Also, the prequel-story of how they met is just so unbelievably cute!

Good book. Pretty light reading definitely for the younger YA audience. I did enjoy it though.

4.75/5 ⭐️
that scene at the basketball game will now live rent free. a whole hillary duff cinderella story moment.
and the representation in sophie gonzales’ books!! i love her as an author.

“it’ll get easier. that’s the beautiful thing about the universe. it puts you through trials, but it never gives you anything you can’t handle. we grow from these things.”

4.5- This book was really good, but I felt like the ending was a bit rushed. Regardless, this book showcased phenomenal writing and nuanced emotional themes; it made me cry and laugh and feel butterflies until I thought I’d forget how to breathe. Also, the representation in this book made me lose my mind (in the best way- LGBTQIA+ AND polycystic ovary syndrome/PCOS?!)
I’ve never encountered PCOS in any of the YA novels I’ve read before, or honestly any novel I’ve read before, and as someone who struggles with PCOS, it was honestly such an incredible experience to see that related here, in a place I’d never thought to look for it. I’m thankful for this book, and I hope everyone reads it!
