 Reading this was like a warm hug with the best amount of angst and thrill. The starting had me in chokehold and it is written so amazingly well, the wait was so worth it. Their meet-cute was the best. And I love the way their interactions progressed and all the details.

Avery and their relationship with their friends was the highlight for me. It was authentic and amazing and aligned very well with how they are a person. And I loved the way the issue with his ex was addressed and put to rest.

The book also didn't shy away from exploring sensitive topics. We see a reflection of how mechanisms like rumours and bullying are prominent in high school and how they're not always black and white. And confrontations and apologies are important in environments like these.

I love the cleverness and thoughtfulness that went into this. Also that last scene has my entire heart.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review
