i actually enjoyed this book, which surprised me, because i don't really like reading YA anymore. this was different, and because i'm a larrie it hit a little close to home, lol. 
it is very easy to read (but there are heavy topics!) and there are lots of cute moments between Zach and Ruben. there are also some cringey scenes
like the one when all the moms met and tried to sue the management??
but overall it was very enjoyable :) 
maybe it would have worked a bit better if one of the two MC's faced the problems Angel faced, because this storyline definitely also deserved a book, and in my opinion it took up a bit too much space.
we didn't get to see Angel's struggles from his POV, it just doesn't really make sense why he struggled and not the MC's.
