Okay so I just read this book in one sitting (ebook--my phone is at 3%) and I couldn't put it down. I had so many other things I planned to do and I'm about to go to bed late but arg I just haven't been pulled into a story like this in too long. 

Even the parts of romance novels I usually don't like (i.e., the part where they always leave each other over some stupid miscommunication) were better in this one than they usually. The problems seemed real and not forced, and the characters tried their best to say how they really felt, pretty much all the time. I loved this book and I love all the queer representation too. I relate to it in so many ways, and it made my heart ache.
