About

You’ll likely enjoy this warm, funny coming-out romance if you like character-driven teen feelings with a hopeful tone; Not for you if you want a darker, more conflicted coming-out story like The Perks of Being a Wallflower or Heartstopper.

Pros: heartfelt coming-out story; relatable teen emotions; lighthearted romance | Cons: can feel predictable; some view it as unrealistic; mixed opinions on lead
