ARC review + minor spoilers
Oh the ending. I'm actually so emotional. I really really enjoyed this one; it just felt so welcoming and accepting of sexualities and the experience of coming out. I love how Julian forgave his father in the end, and yet still refused to let his toxicity back into his life, I feel like that really gave some peace of mind. I also hella liked how even though Julian was struggling so much with his college applications, and how it didn't all turn out as planned, it still ended happily; yet still realistically. (I'm currently in the same position with applications so it was just especially comforting for me.) Overall, the writing was so good for a newbie author, I got extremely attached to the characters and everything was honestly just done so well!
