Alex and Henry stopped disliking each other a bit too fast in my opinion. It was a little bit too much insta-love for my taste.
For me personally the pacing for some parts felt a bit off in general and the ending wasn’t surprising to me at all.
Despite all of this, the book mentioned important topics. It talks about coming to terms with your sexuality & coming out, falling in love and to be yourself and find your own path.
The way Alex was confused about his sexuality before accepting that he is bi is something a lot of bisexual people probably can relate to.
Also the emails & texts were cute and funny.
You should read this book if you want to read some light-hearted young love.
It was a nice quick read for me.
