ANYWAYS!!! This is such a lovely story. I’m always so happy to see a typical trope or plot that’s used for straight couples put on diverse queer couples, it’s always way more relatable to me for very obvious reasons.
With that being said..I hated Laura Dean!!! This story was a whole rollercoaster, probably because I’m older and sort of a dick so I nip this sorta behavior and manipulation in the bud. Still, you really start to feel for Freddy, either because of how naive and sweet she is or because of how young she is...I found myself yelling at her and giving her my own advice while reading the book haha
This is a very important story for young people to read though as it discusses how to navigate these kind of relationships, realize their worth as well, as appreciate those who there for them: friends. And as a believer of the power of friendship, that really hit hard ; ;
BTW sorta spoilery but:
A small thing that happens among two side characters but I’m really tired of the “pressure to come out the closet”/ closeted person’s S/O getting angry at them when they can’t be open around family trope. It’s very insensitive to people who come from families who are not as accepting or queer young people who cannot take that chance when they’re still dependent or living with their family. I hope this doesn’t give the bad message to young LGBT teens reading this. They should come out when they want to, not because of being pressured by someone. Anyways, lovely story, I’m very happy I brought this with me to school
