This book was a great teen romance. I wish I had had it when I was a teen. It’s super cute. Bel is also a great mail character who shows us women can do STEM. I love the girl power present in this book. Highly recommend.

This book was honestly just what I needed. I think it talks about a lot of real issues faced by college students especially college students with intersectional identities. It has some hard parts, but it’s a feel good book.
