I love holly Bourne and I always care so much about her characters. I enjoyed this book and the development of the characters but I wish the ending was a little longer. I want to see Joni and belles reaction past their sort of primal reaction at the end. I love the closure Joni got but don't love how belle didn't get that same closure (I would love to see the decisions they both make in light of the events at the end of the book as I think that would show how much they have developed). 
I enjoyed how Bourne touched on some intersectionality and I think I would love this book more if it had a sequel.
