This is a no-brainer for me. This was my second, and far from last, readthrough of this book. This is 1) an incredibly cute rom-com, 2) very steamy, and 3) a very poignant coming of age story.
I feel like Henry and Alex fit so well together, and we are always here for a bi realization.
The only thing I go back and forth on is the ending. It feels like the book could end when Alex and Henry finally figure things out, but I do feel that ending on election night brings things "full circle". I don't think it takes away from the story at all, but it does stand out to me.
