I'll start by saying that contemporaries aren't my cup of tea, so I was a bit reluctant when I started reading this one. Let me tell you, I loved it so much that I am so glad I eventually read it and I'm definitely going to read it again in the future!

Two things I loved most about it, one being the friendship between Gus and Kalyn! On my God, I wasn't expecting them to become such good friends, I was expecting the level of cuteness that ensued and I was also not expecting how dedicated and loyal they were to each other! It was so refreshing reading a novel about two teenagers being such good friends and if that doesn't day something for how friendships are portrayed in YA books, I don't know what does. Kalyn and Gus and friendship goals and I just loved loved LOVED them!

The second thing that I really liked was the whole mystery aspect. There was a plot twist in the end and I was reading the last few chapters almost out of breath, trying to reach the point of the final revelation. This book had me guessing all the time, I was trying so hard to solve the case myself and I was glad I couldn't predict what happened!

The characters were all well written, they had distinct personalities, unique voices and I was also happy to see so much representation! We have disability, LGBTQ+ people, all in all, it was a very modern and inclusive book.

In conclusion, I have to say that this sory is as beautiful as is the cover of the book, which was the first thing that made me check it out. It's a fun, heartbreaking and poignant book, such a gem in the midst of all the cliche YA contemporaries.
