This was a great read. I'm trying to think of words to describe what I felt, what I liked about this book and I can't find them. I think it's a great coming of age story.

The author sent me this book in exchange for a review. With that being said, I loved it. It was amazing. I loved the characters. I loved the Frank and Honest discussions on sex, sexuality, fluidity, and self. It was excellent.

This book was great for most of it and then it was became hard to read. I am all for teens having accurate rep but I felt the sex scenes were too detailed for YA or maybe they just used very direct language (which would be preferable so teens aren’t acquiring poor vocabulary) but it just seemed off in this book. I did love most of it though.

This book had me giggling and kicking my feet. It also touched on dark topics such as mental health and suicidal thoughts. I loved the character of the English teacher. This book was so fun to read.
