There were so many tiny, poignant moments and deep, big moments.
Jay's relationship with his mom.
Jay's struggles as a child with ADHD and other kids unable to relate or understand him.
Jay's inner monologues. So well done! Fantastic ADHD rep.
Jay's drawings and graffiti, and finding perfect places in the city to bring Logan and put up new graffiti.
And then....low and behold, we have a dual POV, that caught me off guard. Double whammy with the feels.
Logan's family life. Ouch.
Logqn trying to hide his feelings for Jay, to protect Jay.
His admiration for Jay.
His awkwardness around Jay's mother at first, and then the hugs they shared, how he relaxed at their home
Logan's relationship with his best friend from childhood, she was a dynamic side character.
Skateboarding
Road trip to Boston
Sketching
Photography (the plethora of pictures of Jay....)
Vivancos really packed in so many details into this story. Dynamic.
It's more than a love story.
