This book was so good! it was a perfect representation of queer youth. I like that this book felt realistic about the queer experience. 

Ophelia is one of my favorite main characters. I understood why she did what she did and I was on her side throughout the whole book. I really want to be her best friend. I feel like we would get along. 

I love the focus on platonic relationships in the book. Normally, queer books tend to focus on romantic love, and while there was romantic love in this it wasn’t the main focus which I appreciated. I definitely got some flashbacks to my own high school experience of figuring out my sexuality. 

This book felt like a warm hug and I think it was perfectly executed. I would highly recommend this book!
