This book was such a nice surprise! I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did. If you’ve read Heartstopper, this is a more mature version with all of the same pining and heart-tugging gay panic. Not quite smutty, but all of the intimate scenes are still satisfying and enthralling. Didn’t give it a 5 just because it’s a little too “after-school special” for my taste but the author is an 11th grade teacher so that tracks! Great read!
