⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was just so cute, so relatable, and brought WONDERFUL examples of mental health rep and supportive friendships to the table. The characters were well-written, had realistic depth, and made you want to hang out with them in real life. If you're looking for a story with amazing friendships, family being the people you choose, and lots and lots of laughs, you've found it with Under The Ice.

+ Quentin is already protective af and likes Logan way more than he realizes and NONE OF THIS REGISTERS WITH HIM YET. Adorbs.
+ YAAAAAAAAAS FAKE DATING (y'all are kidding yourselves, lol)
+ omg, the pet names are so cute
+ LEARNING TO COOK TOGETHER 😍
+ Quentin is being so respectful of Logan's need for space (personal and mental) and just ALL POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT OTHERS, PAY ATTENTION HERE
+ Logan's reactions to embarrassing situations - "might move houses, schools, and leave the state" - wow, what a mood
+ The mental health rep and supportive friendships in this book - A+++
+ "I totally don't have real feelings for you" they said, like liars.
+ MENTAL HEALTH REP DISPLAYED PROPERLY. Y'ALL READ AND LEARN.
