I think the characters of this novel are a little flat; it wasn’t immediate as the reader to fall in love with them as the protagonists seem to do as soon as they lay eyes on each other. I wish they had more moments and conversations courting each other rather than fighting over coming out or their approach to romance. Not a bad novel, but not the best YA lesbian romcom I’ve read either.
