An infuriating, uplifting, and stomach-turning read in equal parts. Ingrid Yung is an extremely relatable character whose desires feel tangible and whose heartbreak delivers. My only gripe is the underdeveloped side characters- namely, the African American and otherwise minority individuals who pepper the story but do not have distinctive personality traits.

Had to DNF this one after much struggle. I ultimately couldn't deal with the overly descriptive prose and the way that unnecessary romantic tension between every character and every other character dragged on and on. Points to the book for beautiful language, but otherwise I was waited for a plot that never arrived.

I loved this! Heartwarming, sweet, and optimistic, just in Katherine Center's signature style.

Not an enjoyable book to the extent that I couldn't read past 70 pages. The style is OK. There's some choppiness here and there, but the writing is largely passable. Unfortunately, the characters, one self-loathing and one self-aggrandizing, feed into harmful stereotypes and make for poor representation overall.

Cute, a little spicy, and overall met expectations for a young, gay romance book.
