I think this book was marketed wrong. This is not a light and funny romcom about to queer teens, serious topics, about mental health, parental neglect, queerphobia are present on nearly every page. The story is good, and it’s a fresh take on the Romeo and Juliet storyline. I don’t see myself reading this again.
Graphic: Biphobia, Outing, Panic attacks/disorders, Emotional abuse, Toxic relationship, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide attempt, Mental illness, and Abandonment
