The first half of this book? Super cute. Fun banter. I liked it a lot.

Second half of this book? All the characters did was fight. It was 100 pages of fighting and then almost making up and then fighting again. I lost sight of their chemistry and I got bored.

2.5 stars *

The first half of this book was fairly solid. Wasn't blow-me-away fantastic but was easy to read and the characters intrigued me.

The second half of this book was a mess. The relationship between the two leads was a bumpy, potholed road full of miscommunication and zero empathy for the other's situation. Morgan, who I had liked at first, nose-dived into being very annoying. All character development was rushed through in short conversations and half-epiphanies, and the ending felt abrupt and somewhat undeserved.

Pros:
- Despite her rocky start, I did like Ruby. She got the most actual character development and was definitely the most interesting person in the book.
- Some very potent LGBTQ+ issues were touched upon and some good points were made. However, the actual conversations were surface-level and didn't dive as deeply as they maybe should have, considering how important they were to the plot.
- Someone did call Morgan on her bullshit when she got really out of hand. I had been worried it would be written off as justified because of her trials and tribulations, but thankfully it was not. Or at least not entirely.
- Billy.

Cons:
- The romance wasn't paced well. Some of the back and the forth at the beginning was good, but there was a bit of instalove in the later parts that didn't make sense to me.
- Bumpy messy second half as mentioned above.
- A couple of characters got dropped toward the end, and I would have liked more resolution.
- Morgan needed a lot more character development and understanding of how her situation and perspective, while important, was not the same as every other queer person.

My brain kept inserting Maeve from SexEd in place of Ruby
