This is an Uber where our two MCs are in high school and it’s set in 2002, which brings back memories! Journey back in time before everyone has cell phones and you had to brave the landline when you wanted to call your crush.
It’s a nice read and I enjoyed it a lot. It shows a kind of turning point in society where LGBT was just beginning to be recognized and accepted. There is more heteronormative bias than homophobia.
Both of the girls are relatively inexperienced and the romance is slow and sweet. I like how they communicate about their expectations and limits. The unexpected ally of Kent’s best fiend’s boyfriend is a nice touch. The story takes place over several months but is never draggy.
I found the rapid POV switching a bit hard to follow at times, but overall the writing was solid and polished. If you’re looking for a cute, sweet read with a touch of sports and a roaring finish, this is for you!
