˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗
I had high hopes with this book but felt like I ended up with mixed feelings instead.  I love the queer rep and the friendships made, and getting both point of views was a nice surprise.  However, I felt like some parts of the book dragged out all the while it had no time to process the conflict that just happened. The relationship was cute at the beginning but honestly it felt like some of the angst was frustrating to get through.
