I adored this book! Such great non-binary representation and the cutest love story! The characters were great and working through issues and feelings that felt so genuine and real. Definitely recommend.

One of my favorite things about this book was how delicately and effectively the life of a non binary person was explored. I liked how the book showed that not everyone is always happy and accepting, but some are. 

I liked both characters and seeing their relationship. However, I did feel like everything developed very quickly and randomly. The trope of always solving things with sex also really gets on my nerves. 

However, this was a very fun read. I absolutely love when books center around reality TV shows, so I wish we would have gotten more of that as opposed to a stream of consciousness sort of writing whenever they cooked. But this was a very enjoyable book that I really enjoyed.
