This was neat! I loved the variety of queer rep - the main four are one trans guy who is attracted to multiple genders, two sapphic girls dating each other (I know Jess is bi but I can't remember if Abby was specified), and one a-spec girl, but Emma also has two moms, and Jess's little brother has a crush on Bells, who is a guy. There is also another aroace side character, although he's pretty minor and his identity is only mentioned in passing towards the end.

I thought this was a direct sequel to Not Your Sidekick, so I was a little surprised when it started with a recap of the first book from Bells's POV, but I actually liked this solution. It had a lot of new parts that we didn't see in the first book even though it was going on at the same time, and the actual summary part wasn't that long, or at least it didn't feel like that to me. (I do wonder if the next book is going to do the same thing, though.)

I loved that Brendan (Jess's little brother) got more focus and kind of became part of the team in this one, and I loved all the new added side characters who will hopefully be more important later on.

The next book will focus on Emma, who is definitely ace and/or aro, but still figuring things out for herself. I can't wait to read it, and I also seriously can't wait to see the cover! (Also, does this mean book 4 will be Abby? Does it?)
