This book is super cute and well written. It took me a bit to get into it because it starts pretty slow, but once you meet all the characters and get the plot established, it picks up. The book has a great cast of characters with casual queerness (i.e., queerness that isn’t the focal point of the character’s story) sprinkled in, which is always nice. 
Towards the end, I started to get worried that we were getting another queer tragedy where the main characters didn’t end up together, but then the plot pulled a nice bait-and-switch, which was a relief. The ending feels almost like a feel-good fanfic with how nicely it wraps up, but after seeing so many queer tragedies in media, I’m always happy to get a cheesy happy ending for my sapphic characters.
