(I read the swedish translation) The charactars are really sweet but they have their flaws. The book is written from two points of view, which I like, but I thought the two main characters were a bit too similar and sometimes a forgot who's point of view I was reading. An interesting thing about the book is that there aren't any straight people, other than like parents in the background. However, almost everyone in the book are cis and homosexual (to my understanding) and I just think that because of that the book doesn't reach its full potential since it only portrays the parts of the queer community that we already have a lot of stories about. But overall really enjoyable.
