This book follows the lives of a few people in a town and makes you fall in love with a lot of the characters and then switches to characters that kinda suck (but like as a good contrast to humanize or to show that their bigotry is more deeply rooted in their own insecurities).

It's sad to see a glimpse of how a lot of people feel about LGBTQIA+ people but I really enjoyed getting to know this small town and how people grew from the experience of having two years of exposure to people outside of their cis-het bubble. I wish I saw more into some of the characters lives (like Zach and Avery, instead of of just updates in passing from another character's perspective).

Overall, a really good and hopeful read. Lots of trauma, but healing, growth, and self-discovery.
