Through these friendship struggles and romances old and new, Mills evokes the high stakes and vast rewards of trust, intimacy, and honesty. Also in the mix: Zoe is falling in love with Claudia’s brother, Iris longs to get back together with Paige, and Claudia faces her own insecurities and hopes for a romance with popular Gideon. Mills ( This Adventure Ends) thoughtfully explores the nuances of all kinds of relationships, both friendly and romantic, via Claudia and her circle of friends. Claudia discovers that Iris is more complicated and vulnerable than everyone assumes, and the evolution of their relationship-from enemies to intimate friends who respect and rely on each other-is compelling and real. It all starts when Claudia is forced to spend time with Iris for a class project, just as Iris is reeling from a breakup with her longtime girlfriend, Paige. He always freezes for a second before taking his next steps, and that lapse in reaction time is always enough for that sick, familiar feeling of fear to settle into the pit of Gideon’s stomach.“Redemption arc?” asks Claudia’s best friend, Zoe, curious about Claudia’s unexpected new friendship with Iris, her private school’s class president and infamous mean girl. Wide eyes, caught like a deer in the headlights. There’s this look Noah gets when he’s about to have a seizure.

She’s quirky and awkward and painfully human. She doesn’t have all the answers but she does what she can. I’m not a teenager, I’m not an expert at all, but Claudia’s character is wonderful. Like so much, so much, so much-each one punctuated by a kiss to a different place.”Ĭlaudia + Gideon + the kisses so cruelly alluded to in the last chapter - an epilogue of pure fluff for the cutest YA couple to ever do it. This feels like a perfect ‘coming of age’ story to read. Gideon with his cheeks flushed and his eyes bright, close enough that he was blurry, saying I like you, you know. Not just the kiss in the hall outside the auditorium, but the ones in the parking lot afterward and at the cast party and on the street outside after the cast party. I could consider it for a lot of moments, if left unchecked.

and second and third and fourth I just love them.
