Very sweet whilst also quite grim yet relevant at points. Andrew and Jamie are great narrators and whilst I wished we had spent more time on certain feelings and histories, and less repeating of already stated or implied descriptions and such,  I still found it a very entertaining  and refreshingly earnest read.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Medical trauma and Homophobia

Moderate: Terminal illness, Death, Violence, and Murder

Minor: Racism, Vomit, and Misogyny

Really still appropriate for teens, just post-apocolyptic from a pandemic and includes power hungry bigots at points. So long as they've had talks about/understand death and discrimination in the real world, and don't have sensitivity to pandemic-related trauma, it should be okay. Uplifting overall in spite of this.
