quil's review against another edition
2.5
Moderate: Ableism, Bullying, Racism, Toxic relationship, and Toxic friendship
Minor: Deadnaming, Panic attacks/disorders, and Transphobia
CW: deadnaming. One of the side characters deadnames Elliot Page. It was published after he came out so someone at the publisher should have caught that before going to print even if the scene was written before he came out, and they could have fixed it in the audiobook but they didn’t.betweentheshelves's review against another edition

For the most part, I liked Tessa and her friends. The characterization was pretty good, and the rom-com aspect of the story worked well for the setting. There were just some references throughout that didn't really sit well with me, particularly with the HP stuff.
Overall, it was a cute rom-com, though! Perfect for the summer!

Elise Bryant wrote this YA contemporary romance in such a beautiful balance. The sweet, gooey romantic moments aren’t so off-putting as to be childish or saccharine. The “real life” tough moments aren’t just filler for conflict motivation; they’re handled tactfully while still holding true and realistic for a young adult’s perspective.
I grew to love each character, and I felt as if each were developed fully over their respective arcs. If only all high schoolers were as lucky to have Caroline, or Sam, or Lenore, or Theodore! Also, Elise Bryant, can we have a Lenore spin-off?! If only for more OOTD descriptions!
If you’ve somehow stumbled across this book in your search for your next read, add it to your list!
Moderate: Racism
Minor: Bullying
