An enjoyable light hearted queer romance read that left me wanting more. 
 Mahalia is trying to plan a coming out party, in place of the sweet sixteen her Mother and her were never able to afford. Bills, life, and other struggles stand in her way of having the perfect party, and a new student can't help but steal all of her focus. Siobhan and Mahalia were so cute together, I just wish we had seen more of their relationship and how Siobhan saw and felt about Mahalia. 
There is a bookish trope that always gives me the ick, when the mc's love interest is dating someone else already and they engage in a flirtationship/emotional affair before finally getting together. It just makes the story feel so icky. Even if
the guy is an asshole it just makes me not like it.
That is the only thing I didn't like about this book.
I do feel like the ending was kinda abrupt, I almost expected there to be more to the story, or more threads tied up, and was surprised when it just ended after the party. 
All in all it was a great ready, and I recommend it.
