 I was so excited for this book but unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations. I thought this book was gonna be a cute romance story but honestly i didn't like the main character. I thought he was annoying, entitled and selfish. First of all he lacks basic human deceny and empathy like if someone throws up on you, you would ask them if they're okay not worry about your suede pants (i hated his suede pants btw they made me so furious idk why) Also the whole getting a job and his money problem(!) was stupid too. You can't expect that your parents will just throw money around for you. The romance was icky from the beginning too. I mean sorry but the dude he meets like one or two times happens to recognize the blog and they start dating ?? And don't get me started on the blog it overall didn't make sense. I can go on all the negative things i can say but i don't this to be any longer so i'm gonna talk about the only think i liked about this book : Devin. He was such a great character. I liked Devin exploring eir gender and changing pronouns throughout the story and honestly the whole book would have been so much betterit Devin was the MC. Even in the end i felt like Noah didn't really had any character development and Devin deserves better.

I feel like everything with the diary was so convoluted and hard to understand which took away from the overall book. It just felt like 50 pages too long because there were too many conflicts happening. 
I liked that devin and noah both had their own journeys and especially devin’s storyline of continuously trying to find yourself in a safe space.

honestly the way this book was advertised is a little misleading, i thought it was going to be some cheesy romance but in the end it was so much more and relateble. i was super nervous about the age gap and im very glad it went in the direction i was hoping itd go

fun book. appreciated the subversion of romance tropes. emery lee's writing style was also very engaging and bouncy and id def be interested to read more of eir books. on that note i very much appreciated that a major character uses neopronouns.

a big portion of the book focuses on the toxic relationship between noah and drew which can be uncomfortable to read about.
