This book was a pretty average YA contemporary romance. I liked the characters fine, and the writing was good. The plot was rather predictable and I didn't love it or hate it. I didn't like the themes around coming out in this book. I felt like Kat was being pressured by her family to come out when she wasn't ready, and nothing about that was every addressed. You never have to come out before you're ready, and no one is entitled to your sexuality, folx.
Anyway, this was fine, but not great.
