Not the best book I've read this year, but not the worst. The writing is quite stiff and I feel like teenagers don't really act like that today. When I intially read the book I was annoyed by the title character sudden realization and self-acceptance of her queerness, but than I reminded myself that coming out experiences are not monolith. I also like that unlike a lot of LGBTIAQ+ teen romances, or a lot of teen romances in general, the central conflict in the later part of the book didn't necessarily stem from romance drama or drama about the characters' queerness, but from more petty drama between the protagonist and the antagonist.
