Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Another YA romance that I just absolutely loved. There was so many different representations within this book that it would be so good for a high schooler to read (or even an adult like myself). 

High schooler Ophelia has always known she was into boys, really into boys. And all her friends and family have even teased her about her boy crazy mind. And then Talia Sanchez appears into her life and turns Ophelia's life upside down. 

I love the friendships between all the characters in the book. Ophelia had a great friendship with Wes who really helped navigating these new feelings. I did enjoy that Ophelia had friendships with boys who were nothing more than platonic friends (I have read too many romances that just assume the characters will get together in some way). 

It was just so well written and stellar all around. 

Thank you to my bookstagram friends for putting this one on my radar!
