Oooof. Look I'm not as mad about this as some other reviews have been. It's... It's fine. It just reads like middle school fanfiction instead of a published, fully realized novel. The writing style, the plot, the characters, they are just all a little too simple, a little too obvious, a little too on the nose. It's cute, it's fine, it is just that "fine" is about as nice a word I can come up with. There's not much meant in the story plus the homophobia displayed by the majority of the school is also a little... outdated. It reads more like when I was in high school than what I've seen today. Not that homophobia isn't legit still a thing, only that schools, even private catholic schools, can't really get away with that level of it anymore. IDK it's more or less a CW tv show put in a book but with more canon gays. Not for me.
