This book is basically a lovable sit-com in book form. All the characters are adorable, the book is basically about their relationships and personal development/growth. I loved the ace rep, even if it was a little too literal sometimes (dialogue that's just the author giving details about asexuality). 
It reminded me of Red, White, & Royal Blue, which is to say, I loved it. I'm not sure why I love mlm romcoms so much, but I assume it's some kind of internalized self hatred, oops. Anyway, overall very good read, cheeky, fun, very emo and tug at the heartstrings as well.
