I admired the way this book explors religious trauma and how homophobic religious education can make figuring out your sexuality really stressful and confusing. And I really enjoyed some of the side relationships too. I also loved Chloe's moms!

The main relationship and characters, I think, could have benefited from a bit more devlopment, to make their intentions stronger and clearer. While there were moments I didn't like the main characters, I didn't dislike them overall. However, I didn't absolutely love them, like I did in her other books.

Still, a great read with lots of important discussions and laugh out loud funny moments. Definitely worth the read!
