I picked this book up thinking it was going to be a romance novel, but after reading the novel I realized it is more of a coming of age and self acceptance novel. Still, I enjoyed my read of this novel. This book was a quick read, and I was able to finish it within a day. The plot is easy to follow. The characters are extremely likable.

The characters were well developed and all likable. Throughout the novel, I found myself rooting for Ophelia as well as for Zaq. Ophelia matured a lot throughout the novel. She was extremely relatable. I was able to find parallels between my life from Ophelia's story which was comforting to me.

I recommend this novel to young adults. It tackles real life struggles that many young adults deal with. It is powerful. It still has many "cutesy" scenes even though it doesn't really fit the category of a romance novel.
