I....don't really know what to rate this. A 2? A 3? 2 1/2? I dunno. It's cute, but. But. But. I really don't know. There were some things I took issue with, like making the ex-girlfriend a mean girl. Except she's not except she is. I thought the additional POVs (Ruby and Ezra) were unnecessary. 
 I enjoyed both Kyle and Gideon's family scenes (YAY supportive parents and siblings!), and I appreciated both the super sweet m/m friends-to-more-romance (featuring both bi and gay mc's) AND the inclusion of a character with a learning disability (YAY supportive and caring teachers!), but I feel like in a book that's only 212 pages, there's a LOT going on. Nothing felt fully developed throughout the novel, and nothing felt truly resolved by the end. I think more length could have fleshed out both the story and the characters more. 
 BUT the romance was truly adorable, and I think Kyle and Gideon are both precious. I adored the rapport they maintained, their quips, their nerdiness, their chemistry, their unflinching support of one another. They are so sweet, so tender with one another, and I think more books need to show that (the hand-holding! The kissing! I die!). 
 I do think that teens are likely to enjoy this book much more than I did so I'm going to pass my copy on in the hopes that it will find a forever home. 
 My thanks to Macmillan & Swoon Reads for sending me a review copy!
