Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed these characters. They're kind and respectful to each other, and have a lot of personal integrity. I thought the depiction of Down syndrome was well done, and I liked that subplot. This book goes into more depth than most in exploring the harm that society imposes on single people, and how Valentine's Day crystallizes the pressure to pair up. It's not the light read you might assume from the cover. CW: Suicide. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received.
