This was a cute book but needed a little bit of work I think.
In the beginning it opens up and reads like a second or third book in a series, I actually had to check it wasn’t. No one was explained, nothing was explained and you were left trying to figure out what the heck was happening. It doesn’t take much to set the scene but it wasn’t done here.
Because of that I was genuinely confused about sage, much, Charlie, and Luke. So much of the book relies on their relationships but you need to know what how they all relate in order to do that.
I also wished it was a little more clear just what was going on. It takes a while for this book to get going and I feel like it kind of gets stuck in second gear.
As I said, it’s a cute book, but does need work.

I really didn't enjoy this book. I'm going to be honest, I didn't feel connected to the characters in any way, and I did not like the writing at all. I'm very upset because I really wanted to love and enjoy this book. This unfortunately was a let down for me.

That was utterly adorable. I really loved every character, especially Luke. The character development was STELLAR and I so felt for Charlie. 
I’m definitely going to be buying a copy of this soon. 

Huge thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the eARC.

This story is told through two points of view - Sage and Charlie. Their friendship was my favourite thing throughout the book. I really like Charlie's twin, Nick, their brotherly love is so refreshing, I don't often see sibling relationships told so well. Luke is a force to be reckoned with, he knows exactly who he is and won't take any crap, even from the person he loves. All of the characters have their own flaws, of course. I got tired of all the ups and downs caused by the secrets and misunderstandings between all of the main characters. The happy ending was nice but I'm a little tired of angsty stories with the "will they, won't they?" trope, which is used twice in this book.

Morgan Matson meets Becky Albertalli in this story of two best friends who are forced to confront truths about their friendship, identities, and relationships their senior year at boarding school. Everyone at the prestigious Bexley School believes that Sage Morgan and Charlie Carmichael are meant to be. Even though Charlie seems to have a new girlfriend every month, and Sage has never had a real relationship, their friends and family all know it's just a matter of time until they realize that they are actually in love. When Luke Morrissey shows up on the Bexley campus his presence immediately shakes things up. Charlie and Luke are drawn to each other the moment they meet, giving Sage the opportunity to steal away to spend time with Charlie's twin brother, Nick. But Charlie is afraid of what others will think if he accepts that he has much more than a friendship with Luke, that he's never felt this way before. And Sage fears that if she lets things with Nick get too serious too quickly, they won't be able to last as a couple outside of high school and miss their chance at forever. The duo will need to rely on each other and their lifelong friendship to figure things out with the boys they love.
