Some things I liked about the novel were families not having an issue with their kids/cousins being gay. Being gay/bi/trans, was pretty normal and resolved fast if there were issues. I also liked seeing supportive parents of bi people! Thank goodness for that.
I think one of my issues with this one is that Sonora typically writes YA novels, even with the adult scenes in this story, it still felt "YA" in some parts. Granted, Han and Kenny are both young in this story, that plays into it, but I didn't care about the work side plot or how some minor things just magically worked out. I also hated a part where Han "slow claps" for Kenny when he finally speaks his mind. It's very YA coded and left me on the fence a bit.
Overall, I did like this story and glad I read it, but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone.

Once I picked up and got into the book, I just had to finish it!
The book does have several heavy topics/themes, but I love how Reyes brilliantly wrote the story
