This fucking book y'all. First of all, HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 💗💜💙

I stayed up til 2am and missed a morning walk on the beach for this book and I'm not even mad about it. Growing up in a small town, I never heard the word gay unless it was a slur. I was called names and slurs for a week after I kissed a friend on the cheek. Small towns suck. I didn't know I was bi for such a long time because we didn't talk about it. No one was out. No one was openly queer.

I wish I had had this book. The wit and heart that Casey McQuiston pours into this book creates pure queer magic. The romance, the rivalry, the clues, THE KISSES. There is one 💋 that will truly make you gasp and had me cheer/screaming into my pillow. Casey McQuiston won me over in so many ways and with so many perfect pages.

I loved it so damn much. Hopefully you will too. Queer stories are important. We are important. You are important. 🏳️‍🌈
