Ok, I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. YA books are a bit overwrought and I thought I was going to get more of that. I’m rating it so high because towards the end of the book you get to see a couple having silly moments and being silly together. I don’t see that often in m/m romance. It felt familiar and it made want to go back and read that part of the story again. 

The story of having a crush on someone unavailable is so relatable that it’s almost cringe worthy seeing it play out. The characters are young so you already know they think they know everything and they make some great mistakes. Fortunately, Brown’s voice keeps the story level and is just wrought enough. 

This was low stakes and overall a fun read. I enjoyed the world Brown created and if he were to revisit it, id read it.
