It's exactly what the summary makes it sound like, and I absolutely loved it. Darcy is wonderful to read about and her voice is hilarious and casual—it really feels like she's actually talking to the reader.
The romance is done well and I was surprised by just how much I was rooting for them, and how early! No instalove here, trust me. Just two terrified, completely oblivious teens having a blast or offering a shoulder when one of them needs to cry.
The friendships and side relationships were also great, and everything complemented the other plotlines and kept the story balanced. It's been a while since I can remember reading an ending that wrapped every plotline up effectively while also keeping it tense or fun as needed!

I was really surprised that when her secret got out she did not blame the person I thought she was going to, usually that stuff follows a pattern and there’s miscommunication involved so it was nice to see it not go that way.

(I also really liked the discussions of bisexuality! They were sensitive and powerful)
