Gwen & Art Are Not In Love is a fun, gay coming of age story with romance, adventure, and intrigue. I had a great time reading it!
Gwen and Arthur are wonderful POV characters, and I really liked getting into their heads and seeing their growth. I was rooting for their friendship, the whole book, and loved seeing it develop.
I also loved the secondary characters! Gabriel, Sidney, Brigit, and Agnes all added to the world and the story in unique ways, and I really enjoyed reading about them. I wish we had spent more time with Agnes and Brigit, but the time we did spend with them was lots of fun.
I do think that the pacing was sometimes a little wonky, especially toward the end, but overall this book was what I wanted it to be in a very good way. 4 stars
