I loved this a lot!!
This LGBT coming-of-age story was extremely compelling and had a good ratio of mystery mixed with character development. The romance felt gradual and believable (what feels like a rarity for stories with MCs in high school) and was very cute.
A great book for trans representation and I believe both of the main characters are neurodivergent as well (anxiety and ADHD). I'm excited for the sequel.
I described Yadriel and Julian to my friends as "an anxious grumpy/reckless sunshine vibe." They're so fun!
