It was a Quick, fun read about young love and their dreams. Sometimes embarrassing but nonetheless it was cute ,I liked their dynamic ,them individually and tgr too. The writing wasn't incredible but it wasn't bad either . It's rlly just a cute, Quick w/w young love story . I did find it strange that they always used the word queer ? Nothing wrong with that but lesbian could have been used as well

I loved everything about it. It was so well written and their relationship is so cute and was nice to see it evolve. Jacob anxiety was well written and I could relate to him many times and Briana had gone trough so much but so happ she was brave enough and they're happy tgr. One of the best and sweetest couple I have ever read .

I loveddddd it. Charlie has my whole heart and his journey was so amazing and I loved he was able to stand up for his ownself at the end even if he was heartbroken. I was haply to ready about them ,about their struggles ,their love. I love that there are many representations, sometimes dev was annoying with his never ending ever after but I do get why. I loved that he chose himself and left but I do hate that he couldn't imagine charlie choosing him, them planning something, i do get that it's coz he couldn't imagine he deserves love and with charlie but yeah. I love that it was like a reality show etc , i rlly don't mind 3rd pov writings ,i like them and there were many cute , funny ,emptional scenes. The only thing i did not like ,kinda was irritated was how charlie OCD was written ,i liked that we got to know how feels ,struggles and that he was sharing it with dev , learning etc but after some pages it felt like it kinda disappeared? Coz of dev and their love ? And it sounds stupid but it felt like that to me . I once read someone who had ocd too and while I do not have ,I do not think it will just go away coz you're close with someone or in love ? Or maybe there are Times like that etc but idk it felt so sudden for me and it was such an important thing for charlie too and finally he was starting to open someone and you could see some struggle at the beginning but after nothing ? He was ready for anything with him ? Idk i mean it's good he was evolving ,more confident etc but it felt empty sometimes. I know it's a book ,not enough time, especially here to develop it more ,but I was excited to read more about him, his process ,how he would handle ,struggle and be able to touch dev and it just felt so easy ig it's coz they're meant to be . Anyway it was good ,I will think about them fondly:)

I feel like I tripped into an amazing love story revolving around 2 people who love each other so much but have toxic family and people besides them. They showed each other their best and were drowning in it while hiding their real feelings and emotions. When they laid everything out, when they decided to be the worse ,that was when they knew they can rebel 2 ,that u can love someone and they don't have to be perfect ,that these 2 can do what they want without those people. They made their own family and they love eo 100%. I dearly love them

This was amazing. I liked the development of the characters ,the love all of them have each other it was so beautiful and how amazing and beautiful death, funerals can be even with the many pains it comes, it was so wonderfully done ,cried about her dad and the family love so much. It's a simple plot with simple love done beautifully :)

Never again it was sooooooo yeah. I can't even say it's because I wanted to read something else or wasn't in the mood to read. IT WAS BAD ,like Ig it's rlly not for me. I regret buying it. It's not the worst ,it had some funny moments ,some nice ,cute ones but the bad ones overtook this so much. I could not like the main characters ,let alone alex omg , he was so shit and felt like his Dick was his another personality. The other characters weren't the best either as friends nor as brother. Felt like I was reading someone bad dream/ fantasy. So if u like these okay but yeah not for me

It's not too much but more too ,I think it was an enjoyable read and would read it again in the future. Had some great themes ,things to tell ,show and Daniel is just the sweetest guy. I think the characters were well written I could feel myself being happy ,sad and rooting for them. Definetly not the best and some things I still feel like not angry but not happy but it is a good book to read for sometimes.
