To me this was just perfection! Every character felt so real and well rounded, I loved the depth of both POVs and I devoured this nearly in one sitting.

I will definitely read everything by this author duo.

Also yay for positive depiction of sex in YA I cannot stress this enough it’s important to me. Reading a lot of American authors makes me resentful of their prudish customs and inability to talk about it. Sex is nothing teenagers need protection from but knowledge about!! If parents make them hide it they are doing a terrible job at parenting.
