(First Person POV)

I absolutely loved this book.  The characters, the romance, Margot's energy and comments, very much here for it.

I went into it knowing nearly nothing about it other than it was a queer contemporary book, so the asexual rep was such a nice surprise.

Following Harper through the stress of always having to be what her parents wanted or never being able to do things because her mom was the dean of the school and her dad running for president.

I can say with confidence that I hated Harper's mom, so much.  I also wasn't a fan of her dad but when Harper needed him he was there in the end, even if he did use her to better his family man image.

Love how conservative parents raise the gayest/queerest children ever.  It was such a nice plot twist with Ben (or McDreamy, whichever works better).

The friendships were written SO well.  There were ups and downs and lots of drama with some, they were complicated.  And as much as I hate several of Harper's friends it was nice to see how she approached some of the issues they caused her.  Lets just say Harper is a lot nicer than I would have been near the end of the book.

This book was so well written and I really enjoyed it.  I also enjoyed the Grey's Anatomy reference when Harper's dad was like: "She's our child, and this is—it's don't be so goddamn thickheaded." (Chapter 27, Page 226) it made me think about that one episode of Grey's Anatomy (S12,E01) which was a favorite of mine.

So basically, 10/10 loved everything and I will most likely read this again.
