Maybe I'm getting too old for YA because I read this book in three hours just so I could be done with it.

I picked this book up because I heard it had butch rep, which is so so rare even in literal f/f romances, but honestly it made me kind of glad there isn't more trope-y, stereotypical butch rep in YA. All the characters-- but especially the butch one-- seem like canned archetypes. Nothing about this "realistic fiction" seems remotely real. Emily annoyed me. Esther seemed like an afterthought of a character.

None of the plot lines really get resolved. I didn't enjoy this book. I gave it two stars because I really liked Jesse's parents and the role they had in their daughter's life, but that's it. Bad butch rep really bums me out.
