This is a surprisingly fun and quick witted book. I have recently discovered the genre of LGBTQ romance novels, and have been ravenously consuming both the sophisticated fiction and erotic smut that brackets the spectrum (or at least what is available at HCL). Even though this story is geared towards teens and young adults, I felt moved by the authors ability to depict both the fun and fraught communication dynamics between young folk, especially when it comes to something as awkward/taboo as queer love. I remember high school as an incredibly violent space for visibly queer folks, so it's somewhat uplifting to be immersed in this novel where young people aren't immediately prosecuted or attacked by their peers for exploring diverse forms of love and kinship. I hope more HS stories like this, both fact and fiction, become more numerous in the years to come.
