What a pitch! … Unfortunately, the writing got off to a rocky start. But when Pony and Georgia lock eyes on the first day of the semester, sparks fly, and best-laid plans quickly go by the wayside in the face of undeniable chemistry. Georgia is beginning to think there is more to life than the trope-y trappings of being a cheerleader and wants to lay low until graduation, a plan that includes a self-imposed dating moratorium.

Everything from the premise to the gorgeous cover art (which combines a graphic feel and citrusy palette to swoon-worthy result) felt modern, fresh, and fun, making it a highly anticipated read for me!

Assault /violence, dysphoria, transphobia, homophobia, deadnaming, bullying, cheating, use of slurs, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, public outing. ![]()
