I think this is partly just because it is YA and I am 28 but I did really find the book grating and hard to get through, if I hadn't listened to an audiobook I would not have finished this book.
I found the book really tough to get into in the first 30%, mostly because I really didn't mesh with he writing style. On to aspects of this story I enjoied less. One of the most interesting parts of this story was watching Lara compare her own experience of her sexuality to others' experiences and try to figure out where she fit. Lara's relationship with these people factors into her own journey to realizing she is queer. There are gay, bi, nonbinary, and asexual characters who are populating this world. There are lots of secondary and tertiary characters who occupy various queer identities. I think this book does an excellent job of having lots of casual queer representation. But, Jasmine from the summer is the new student after having not spoken to Lara since they left her father's summer home. Now she's back in school, and the boy she had a crush on for basically forever finally is into her back.
