MINOR SPOILER ALERT: Nothing that's not in the summary, though!

I don't think this is a bad book, the big problems I find with it:
- there's two POVs, which is fine, but they sometimes seemed so similar, almost like the same person, with the same speech and everything;
- though it deals with the heavy topics it features extremely well and with the seriousness it entails... It spends a whole lot of time teasing a lot, which was great! But then when it actually follows through... it was lackluster.
- it was kind of insta-lovey;
- Poppy was kind of the "quirky" girl... I warmed up to her, but the first impression was very much not good.

The good things:
- good parents representation;
- realistic bad parents representation;
- good representation of a bad relationship;
- the cover? flawless.

The resolution of the big bad "conversion therapy"...? I mean, it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great. Didn't feel like a lighthearted conclusion, more like a rushed "happy" wrap up...
