This was a fun new adult novel about friendship, coming out, coming of age, queer community, and navigating relationships. I expected all of that but did not expect for it to also deal so thoughtfully with sexual assault. Definitely recommend for fans of messy campus novels like Come and Get It. Also the audio was one of the best narrations I’ve heard in a long time. If you can make a dozen different college students sound distinct with one voice, I am impressed. Will definitely be looking for more from this author and narrator.
