I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publishers in return for my honest review. I really wanted to like this book more. The premise is lovely. I enjoyed a lot of the secondary characters a lot. I even enjoyed our love interest/antagonist Jasper. I really could not love Charlie. Knowing he’s a teenager, that he’s a young trans man, I understand a lot of his difficulties in trust and decision making. But he just made so many things much more difficult than they needed to be. I also thought the PM stuff felt like a throwaway. I understand the need for that bit, but it all went away very quickly.
