0 0i genuinely liked this more than i expected! this was a heartwarming coming of age story at its core that showcased all different kinds of love. it is narrated by 18 year old henry hamlet who, in keeping to his namesake, is a walking emotional wreck trying to balance being on the cusp of graduating high school and, after a game of truth and dare gone awry, falling for his childhood best friend, len. this was a lighthearted story and i loved seeing the individual relationships between henry and his family, friend group, girl best friend and boy best friend, and how this love looked different for all of them.
this rating is very subjective because a lot of my enjoyment came from the aussie references. i especially loved the australian school setting and am amused to see that we all lived the same schooling system experience.
this is a perfect comfort read that had me beaming for *most* of the book and i definitely recommend. truly a hidden gem of a book.
thank you netgalley and charlesbridge for providing this arc in exchange for an honest review
