Having a crush is just about the most moronic feeling on earth
It's such a summery book, I feel like it should be read solely during that time of year (I read it in winter / almost spring, but I think I'll reread it sometime during next or maybe even this summer, cause it just fits). And it's about all possible kinds and flavours of love – family, friends, crushes, loves; current and past, closer ones and those that are more distant. Many kinds of queer relationship too, and some parts managed to hit a bit too close to home.
It was also really easy to read, at first I couldn't quite get into its style but then I read the entire second half in a few hours. And while I still think the writing wasn't exactly my style, I really enjoyed reading it and, as I said, I will certainly reread it in the future!
in short, I recommend trying :D
