3.5/5
SHORT REVIEW
A book about geeky-ness and making the most of summer before leaving for college, about family and best friends... Or maybe lovers? Maybe summer is the time to figure that question out.
Though it felt a little long and dragging at times, many elements were done really well.
It remained a nice enjoyable read.

IN DEPTH REVIEW

What's this book about?
Isaac, a Black Mexican gay boy prepares for his last summer before leaving for college, leaving his family, leaving his best friend Diego.
So he plans to make it incredible. Geeking out to his favourite comic, going to his fave convention, and all of this with Diego, with whom he wants to spend every second.
But bumping into Davi, the cute guy from the school who recently came out as bi, turns all his plans upside down.

My thoughts:
Although the first half dragged a bit, had some very long scenes I wasn't really interested in, the second half picked up quite a bit and ultimately I enjoyed this book.
I enjoyed the geeky elements, how the main character sees himself represented for the first time ever in comics, how he struggles to make friends but finds a home with fellow geeks.
I loved his different relationships with different members of his family, especially after a divorce. I really understood the struggles of that and found them to be really well dealt with.
Most importantly I loved that this was a friends-to-lovers story. I don't read enough of them but think I really like them. Their bond was already so strong and sweet and their relationship just made sense.
Yeah, mistakes were made, but it made the characters grow. I'm glad they were forgiven, though I'm not 100% sure I would have forgotten so easily...
