YA romance contemporary books aren't really my thing so they've already got one thing against them. What I dislike in a lot of YA contemporary books is that the narrative voice is childish and too quirky. I think it's just a product of adult authors being out of touch with teenagers' behaviours today. The same thing happened with Sky in this book. He tried to be too relatable and funny and said a lot of things that a stereotypical teenager would say. This negative influenced my reading experience because Sky was not relatable at all.

That being said, it's the only big critique I have. I think the story and characters were sweet. It was easy to feel sorry for Sky because he wasn't wallowing in self-pity after the whole promposal wall got revealed. I'd wished there would've been a little more gay pining for Ali, but I understand the author wanted to close that chapter as soon as possible. I also liked that almost the entire school was supportive of Sky.

My personal pet peeve in books is characters lying about their identity to save themselves. Sky pretending to be someone else so his father's old friend wouldn't know it was kind of annoying to me, but again, it's a personal thing. I do wish Sky could've stood his ground with Gus.

I liked the romance part of it. Teddy seems like a nice person and though we didn't really get a lot of interactions between Sky and Teddy, it still felt like a realistic pairing.
