This YA book was such a lovely combination of emotion, teen angst and self-exploration, and the best kind of ridiculous humor (the side characters and their personalities honestly tickled me). Charlie has arrived as a year two at Valentine Academy as an Excellent Scholar after deferring for one year while he socially transitioned. He has to rank top five by the end of term to stay there on his scholarship, all while worrying that someone will find out who he used to be and he'll be asked to leave,  tutoring others as cover after unknowingly joining a secret society, all this while living with a roommate after requesting a single. And worst of all? His roommate is Jasper, the boy he went to poetry camp with a couple years ago and kissed but was betrayed by, but so far doesn't seem to realize who he is. Their forced proximity from their room and participation in the society, overall awkwardness, and Jasper's unfailing belief in love wears on Charlie and makes him feel alone. But as term moved forward he discovers friendship and maybe even love. I really enjoyed this book AND the freaking cutest thing ever is that the author proposed to his partner in the dedication and then revealed it to them for the first time at one of the book's release events!
