This was an amazing and fun read that I am surprised hasn't had more recognition. The plot was so very wholesome and cute. I loved every moment of this book start to finish. Asexual Wren Martian is a funny, witty and relatable character. Leo Reyes, the guy that is almost to perfect, is incredibly likable, funny and amazing. Though they both have their flaws that just go hand in hand.
Wren is dealing with the problem of guilt and not wanting to leave town due to his Mom that passed from cancer. While Leo is also having trouble as his brother is losing his battle with cancer.
The book had me laughing out loud, face hurting from smiling so much. Though the author somehow perfectly goes to deep emotional moments that had me on the verge of tears. The way Wren sees and thinks of Leo is so endearing. The big moment that unfolded at the dance had me folding. This book was an amazing journey and ride. This is one of my top reads as an amazing heart warming YA novel.
