While this book was definitely written for the younger side of YA audiences and is definitely not for my demographic, this was still cute. It was lighthearted wish-fulfillment. It also dealt with grief in a surprisingly touching manner.

I don't see myself remembering much about it in the future, but while I was reading, I had a good time.

It was very obvious, however, that this author was writing gay teenagers from an adult woman perspective. I would not call this an "authentic" experience. I would definitely recommend any Own Voices book over this one if someone were to ask me.
