I feel like I really wanted to love this more than I did. It had some good tropes - love triangle, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, coming of age. But I just didn’t really enjoy the love triangle or who Felix ended up with. I just never really fell for Ezra. But I appreciate that this book focuses on and tried to analyze different types of love. Although that attempt at analysis felt a little much and preachy at times.

4.5

i had the best time with this! it was the perfect upper YA rom-com, with all the swoony moments but also the tough decisions/thoughts that many teens experience. i wish i had had a book like this when i was in high school. so much love for felix!! loved being in his head for the duration of the book. amazing LGBTQIA+ rep in the mcs and side characters!

I loved it. Seriously loved it. Beautiful and captures the trans experience so well. I couldn’t put it down and I seriously flew through it once I was reading. I’m so sad it’s over. I feel like I only read 3 pages and then it was already over
