Heartstopper by Alice Oseman meets Endless Sky by Christopher Renna.

This book is cute and fluffy at first, then becomes dark. It's a Young Adult Fiction, Coming-of-Age, and Gay Romance with a twist of Mystery. The author's goal was to make this book about relationships, and I get that. Matt is someone who's coming to terms with who he is and deciding when he feels comfortable coming out to his loved ones, while Josh is a gay kid who came out of the closet a long time ago and isolated himself. This made me laugh multiple times because of Matt's best friend, Chase. I also felt tensed when it finally came to the mystery part, and it had me devouring it and kept me guessing who killed Eric. I hate and love how I wasn't able to predict this XD

CW: Bullying, Cyber Bullying, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Violence, Gun Violence, Drugs, Panic Attacks, and Anxiety (search it up for more specifics or correct CW as mine is what I thought was triggering while I read it)
