I love Emma, and I love Lev AC Rosen, but this did not work for me. The characters all felt much older than high school and many of the classic Emma conflicts were pushed to the end or rushed through. Some of the metaphors/themes ended up very overplayed (how many times do the flower petals have to come up before we get the hint...) That being said I do the characters (especially Miles and Taylor, yes Emmett is a bitch but that's kind of the point of the story) and loved the discussions of how queer relationships can be whatever we want them to be.
