literally came back to goodreads just to rate this book omg, so relatable, such good characters and character development, sobbed the ENTIRE time. Literally might be my new favorite book. The main character's internal conflict was so so so real and Im definitely gonna be rereading this a million more times. Definitely a little more mature tho and can maybe probably be triggering for some people.

I have mixed feelings about this one… first, I found the level of wealth & privilege these kids seem to have entirely unrelatable, but that doesn’t mean their environment isn’t also oppressive to difference. Second, the conversations about religion & morality of love, political events, etc is an important one for many and helped me understand one of my closeted saying partners better at the same time making me (unashamed California-raised) profoundly uncomfortable. It also felt unnecessarily sad/dramatic, but there’s lots of dramatic straight romance (also which I don’t love) so I think that’s just personal preference.
(SMALL SPOILER SKIP IF HAVENT READ:)
But mainly- THE APOLOGY?! WHAT DOES SHE HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO C FOR!? And why is she suddenly so wise and forgiving when he admits all the fucked up stuff he ignored/put B through? She’s understandably protective the whole time and then, is suddenly unphased?!
