I think maybe Julian Winters just knows how to give readers a good summer teen story 🥹

This book gave me friendships and family, it gave me pining and angst, it gave me fandoms and geeks, and it gave me precious best friends-to-lovers trope.

I related to a lot of things in this book, and more often than not, I found myself relating to Isaac and his social anxiety/awkwardness, but also his desire to belong. Romance had lots of pining and angst which was a surprise for me somehow?? 😂 And the lack of communication gave me a bit of a headache, but it's a good one 😆

Overall, I just really enjoyed reading this.
