Sometimes I catch myself thinking "I'm definitely getting too old for YA" - but then I stumble upon gems like this who give me all the feels and who remind me how fun YA can be when it's done well 🥺

This is genuinely the sapphic romcom of my dreams and I don't say that lightly. Saoirse as a character was so compelling from the very beginning, and she felt so real the entire time - she is young and messy and makes mistakes and lashes out and is reckoning with something looming over her that is so much bigger than herself, but she is so, so deeply human, and I just really loved being in her shoes! Ruby was also absolutely fantastic, and the whole montage had me giggling and rooting for them from the beginning (which, admittedly, they started off as very insta-lovey, but they're lesbians, what did you honestly expect?)

Also, can highly, highly recommend giving the audiobook a go, because I feel like everyone should get to hear what an incredible job Alana Kerr Collins did (and her cute as heck accent)!!
