I read this book with a friend who requested a buddy read, and I'm really glad they did! This book is a little outside of what I normally read; I'm not a big contemporary romance gal. However, this is such a well-written novel that has a lot to say and it sucked me right in. I listened to this on audiobook and the narrator does a great job, so you won't go wrong if that's how you choose to consume this one. There is so much good rep and diversity in this book, and it is funny, heartfelt, emotional, and important. 

As someone who is white and cis and bisexual but married to a man, I feel like it's not my place to speak on how well these characters were portrayed, but I found them to be loveable and real and well-developed. I thought the layers of conflict with parents and friends beyond the main conflict of the story added depth and believability to both the plot and the characters. 

I wish there hadn't been so many Harry Potter references lol and while I understand that Felix is a teenager with a lot on his plate, their teenage immaturity and constant tardiness/desire to blow off assignments kind of got on my nerves haha. Nevertheless, would absolutely recommend this one! The hype is totally deserved.
