Ratings and reviews

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! MUST READ! QUEERS EVERYWHERE WILL LOVE THIS ADORABLE UNPLANNED FALL INTO LOVE! there are many astounding points of learning in this book... my favorite is that no matter what, hiding who you are hurts you. be yourself and nothing can hurt you. also, to everybody like me who had a terrible mother-child relationship because of my being transgenderqueer (FtM/demifluid) just know that we as a community are here for you Love -Sami

A wonderful and wholesome look at modern young LGBTQ romance. The characters are believable and the artwork emotive. I'm glad this exists for LGBTQ youth, it would have been monumental in my teens to have this. I would not expect a woman author to capture the anxiety and excitement of being a young gay man, but she does. Work by gay authors has never hit as close to reality for me as Oseman does here. It is a joy. The Netflix series keeps the heart of this and much of the beats so far.

Well, I think that this book is amazing. I have read all five of the books in the series and I think that it is an amazing book and would recommend them any day. Now, I am middle school student and I think that these books perfectly fine for children (ages 12- 16), considering I am one. I think that these books are amazing if you are lost in thought of who you might be, or just looking for a book to read. Alice did a brilliant job on this book and I loved it. This book should be I school libraries (Cough*Cough*Rhonda)
