This book was so fucking ridiculous and unserious but so self-aware that I could just lean back and enjoy the insane ride. All the fan fiction references were top-notch, I especially enjoyed the casual "his blue orbs". I am also a total sucker for friends-to-enemies-to-lovers and I thought the reason for Ivy's and Mack's falling out was believable and I could understand both sides. Oh, and it had asexual rep, so what more could I ask for? Man, I miss reading fanfiction now. And Sophie Gonzales has become such a comfort author for me when it comes to silly queer coming of age novels with just the tiniest bit of depth.
