I DNF this book due to this book being awfully slow.
Read this in one sitting it was such a good book! Totally a must read
The actual story is great, plus excellent diverse side characters
My HIV isn't a threat to you, but your ignorance is a threat to me.
Shoutout to my friend for recommending this book to me, it was such a stellar read. HIV isn't a subject I've seen a lot in YA books, so that combined with a main character who's also navigating being a Black woman and queer made the story very captivating. I would've really loved this book as a teenager. Simone is so likable, the romance is super cute and there's enough drama and mystery to keep you invested too. There's so much to like about (AND learn from) this story--it's definitely a must read.

This has all the amazing parts of YA in it: good plot, sex positivity without explicit spice (a tad bit), important themes, lovable characters, a nice boy!
