Goodreads synopsis
Vanilla and Hunter have been dating since seventh grade.
They came out together,
navigated middle school together,
and became that couple in high school
that everyone always sees as a couple.
There are complications and confusions, for sure.
But most of all,
they love each other.
As high school goes, though,
and as their relationship deepens,
some cracks begin to show.
Hunter thinks they should be having sex.
Vanilla isn't so sure.
Hunter doesn't mind hanging out with loud, obnoxious friends.
Vanilla would rather avoid them.
If they're becoming different people,
can they be the same couple?
Falling in love is hard.
Staying in love is harder.
My thoughts
WOW I just DNF my first ARC. So the short story on how I received this book. On day two of BookCon at the scholastic booth the reps where handing them out yelling 'this book is only for age 18 and over'. Just looking at the cover I knew this was a LBGTQ read and that was okay with me. I'll admit I had high expectations for this and I really try not to do that at all when starting any book. I was feeling really good about the story because number one I love books in verse, that has to be one of the formats that I enjoy the most. I'm sorry but this story is a little bit too much for me. Please do give it a try! I do want to give a shout out to Billy Merrel for having the courage to put this out.
