A fluffy YA love story with plenty of heart-warming moments. Mahalia is determined to have her own big party - a coming out party. Her best friend Naomi knows she likes girls but she has no idea how to tell her church-going mom - then she falls in love and things get more complicated! Mahalia’s crush on Siobhan is adorable and truly reminiscent of a teenage crush. It consumes her whole being and even threatens her friendship with Naomi at times. I liked that this book didn’t shy away from the financial difficulties Mahalia and her mom face. Not many YA books show these struggles so blatantly and I really appreciated it and could relate to Mahalia’s complex feelings of guilt and frustration at her situation. Cheesy, cute and a fab protagonist!
