there's so much good representation in this. Queer (gay trans boy, sapphic trans girl, lesbian, gay, asexual). Black and Filipino. And experience wise as well! Friendships breaking apart (which i personally relate to, he was cutting pictures please that's so cliche but i did it too aah) and getting back together (though to that i don't personally relate sadly i mean she never apologized to me), toxic friendships, a relationship where one of them comes out as gay,... i loved this so so much, it made me feel so seen.

the main romance is achillean childhood bestfriends to one of them ignoring the other for years to lovers and it's great
