This book felt like a warm hug, the hurt/comfort was amazingly written.  It was such a queer filled book, something lighthearted and comforting but also realistic and the characters going through some things in their life and dealing with a long distance relationship.  The love Ryan and Avery have was so strong and they were adorable together.

Also, Ryan’s parents and rot in Hell.  His aunt though was amazing and deserves all the good things in the world.

Favorite Quote: ❝ When you have to fight for your identity and win your identity, there is always a part of you that thinks there has to be a trade-off, that by stepping away from the norm you have been sentenced, you risk stepping away from happiness as well. You feel you will have to fight harder for someone to love you. You feel you will have to bear the risk of more loneliness in order to be who you need to be. ❞
