It's a petty high school rivalry/love story, so, don't expect anything else. Buuut. I like it a lot.

I don't usually appreciate those marketing comparisons of different authors. But I kept thinking two of them: - "this is like John Green (and maybe David Levithan) but without all the stuff that makes me roll my eyes" - "this is like Courtney Summers, but without all the terrible bad things happening"

It's fairly lighthearted, it has a lot of queers, and I like how the big plot/character issues are at the same time shown as deeply important and totally everyday.

I started this at 4.5 but I think I'm bumping it to 5.

Premise is that the Queen Bee of a religious school, kissed three people, disappears the night of prom, and it's up to those three to find her.

This includes a lot of queer representation, and shows that your identity can evolve as you do (that's a minor plot point though).

The second half of the book is wildly different than the first half, but I don't mean that in a bad way.

Everything felt well put-together in this book.
