ibatoo 's review for:

4.0

I received this book as an e-arc from Avon and Harper Voyager and NetGalley. My review is my own opinion.

I went into this book thinking I could guess where it was going from the summary and I was wrong in the best way. I had a great time reading and had a good few laughs, aww cute and some bitter sweet moments.

This was the first book I've ever read that one of the MMCs was trans and I enjoyed reading the different perspective/learning some new things that sent me down some new rabbit holes of education. I adored Eli's family and friends as they were supportive but realistic through the book. Peter stole my heart and his arc had me smiling as he we the readers learned about his experiences, many which I personally resonated with. Eli's arc also was realistic and I found it refreshing that he was able to own up to his actions after messing up.

Although this was my first time reading a book from Mx. Deaver, I look forward to reading more of their works in the future! My only note is that I wish there would have been a mini montage or something of that nature between the last chapter and epilogue (it would have been on brand for the movie references
