"If your heart sings for teen rom-coms, then stop reading right here – this book delivers every bit of the fizzy fun the genre promises, from perfect first kisses to the heady joy that only a crush reciprocated can bring. Better yet, though, is its focus on the kinds of teen lovebirds we rarely see: Abby Ives, a queer plus-size fashion blogger who hates having her picture taken, and Jordi Perez, a Latinx photographer, who fall for each other while competing for the same dream job. Their intersecting identities provide fresh angles for conflict, development and emotional release – and bring depth to a genre not always known for it, creating a book that will delight true believers and convert skeptics."
