"this was super cute!! it was pretty predictable and noah wasn’t my favorite character but he felt very real. it was a fun read and very uplifting for the most part. ⭐️4/5⭐️ finished 1/14/22"

"Just finished this book last night and I have to say I'm not impressed. I had a high expectations and they were like a rug that got ripped out from under my feet. The couple on the cover isn't even the couple that is together at the end. The protagonist kind of sucks. He's a jerk to his brother, both of his significant others (not in a polyamorous way, but in a he dates two different people) and to his best friend throughout the course of the story. Incorrect portrayal of being trans (he doesn't feel dysphoric once.) Everyone the MC doesn't like ends up being a bad person when he could've had a chance to change his point of view instead. Incorrect use of neopronouns (but at least they're in there I guess) and the MC just sucks. By the end he's a lot better because character dev. magic but over all not my favorite. I also just see the author put emself in eir book. (Oh and one of the characters tells the MC eir nb and he still addresses em with masc pronouns until e tell him to use they/them, like I guess you didn't get the point of the term NONBINARY. Also he doesn't understand neopronouns and doesn't ask em to at least explain how to use them in a sentence to get a basic understanding, which irritated me a little bit. ALSO ((the last one I promise)) the MC goes to buy a binder something that should be taken very seriously and just says "idk what size to get but I'll just guess and it'll be fine" like that's not how it works and that's such a dangerous mindset.) I wanted a really cute romance and this did not at all reach my expectations, I'm sorry to say it, but I do not recommended. 😪"

"I give this book 3.5/5 stars! Wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't horrible either. Good character development, I just feel like it got repetitive after a while. "

"very very cute I loved the ending "

"I didn’t know the meaning of the question ‘what book do you wish you can read for the first time again?’ until I read this book. The story is amazing - REALLY pulls you in - and the trans rep is amazing and relatable."

"it was good, it took a twist i didn’t expect at the beginning but i was quite happy with. noah was kinda rude but he had character development "

"A fun time."

"Really disappointed with this book as a trans gay man. I appreciate the diversity, but if your going to write a trans main character at least TRY to accurately portray it. 1. Being trans isn't portrayed correctly at all. Noah isn't impacted by dysphoria and is completely okay with being misgendered. In all honesty, that's disgusting from a trans (ftm) point of view. Saying that it doesn't truly impact people to be misgendered and portraying that is giving a completely false view that overall negatively impacts trans content. 2. As a trans man, the idea that Noah wasn't precieved as a "real man" and every story portraying (aside from the final relationship) a trans relationship is toxic and/or completely fake under the idea of "giving hope" to trans people is gross. It sort of indirectly creates the idea that t4t is the only type of relationship for trans people. 3. The idea that Noah constantly outed other characters to random people without ever asking is completely disgusting. I don't like how it normalizes outing without any kind of conversation about consent or permission. Overall, I could hardly finish the book both because it was a boring plot and it was extremely stereotypical."

"honestly, this is a 2/5⭐️s for me. the premise was great, and i actually enjoyed reading the first half till it kind of got ‘teen drama show that isn’t all that great but you can’t stop watching it’ out of nowhere. but i guess since this is my first book that i’ve read with a transgender main character…i’ll be a little nice and give it a like "

"3/5"
