It's okay, lots of things going on here. A whole page of trigger warnings starts it up. Politically-tinged opposites attract formula.
As one of the characters mentions, people today have Tinder and Insta, while back in the day they had AIM. Just as crazy and possibly destructive.

This was a really well done story about two private school band geek teens who get cat-fished on a dating app but end up becoming friends and later more. I loved the ace representation - there hasn't been a lot of it in YA fiction so far. The book did a good job dealing with outing someone against their will and exploring sexuality. The family dynamics were really well done too. Overall I just couldn't get enough of this one and definitely recommend!

This was probably a 3.5 for me, but I’m also not the main audience for this book, lol. HS drama is always a bit much for me. But I did cry, so the fact that it spoke to me so much gets an additional bump in rating
