This is a fun, cute, not too serious story. Despite being a hetero relationship, this also has a lot of inclusive minor characters and elements. It talks about consent a lot which is so refreshing. But there are a few things that sorta didn't work for me. She says at the end she knows her family will love her and there's nothing really in the book to show that that's true. Also she does a lot of second guessing her own emotions and opinions which I could use less of. Like, trust your instincts, girl!
