an amazing story filled with banter, humor, and pining but an even more amazing cast of friends. it’s lighthearted and fun but with a pinch of heartbreak, the perfect recipe for a 5 star book

A coming of age/teen story about two boys with feelings for each other figuring out the world and their place and feelings in it.

This was cute. It dealt with "the usual" teenage feelings and drama, plus an added element of the main character's aunt being terminally ill with cancer.
The audiobook was nice, even if it annoyed when they vocalized "argh" and "ugh" in a very weird way. That's just me tho.

I have read this book twice now and both times it has emotionally wrecked me, partially because I relate slightly to the secondary storyline. However, this book was just as great as the frist time I read it in 2021.
The characters are so well written in their messiness. Both Ollie and Will are such interesting characters because they're both so flawed in a believable way. The side character, Lara, is also so well written, as she could've ended up as just a bitchy friend but she has so much more depth which I love.
This book also handles the out x in the closet trope so much better than other books I have read, with the conflict not actually being the fact that Will is in the closet but actually the ways he treats Ollie in trying to hide his queerness.
This book is another masterpiece by Sophie Gonzales and I can't wait for her next release.

I love Grease, so I really enjoyed this book. I always felt that Danny pretending he didn’t know Sandy was stupid, as the only reason he hide it was because he was trying to be cool, but it actually makes more sense in this context, as some people aren’t ready to come out.

I really liked how Ollie’s family was incorporated, in the original theres literally nothing from any of the tees’ families, and I liked how Will supported him and gave him a space to process his emotions.

I also really liked how the Rizzo character was handled, and it was less that she was just being a bitch and more that she was dealing with her own stuff. That’s something i really enjoyed, that each of the girls had their own things and relationships going on and so did each of the guys. I liked how each one of them had their time to shine, while still focusing on the main couple.

I loved it when Will finally realised he didn’t care about being out, he just wanted to show the whole world how much he loved Ollie, and I liked how in the end he kissed him at his basketball game and THEN went to Ollie’s show. It was so cute.

One thing I think was done well was how Ollie felt about leaving his home and moving to a whole new town. I liked how the author kind of made it clear that he felt so upset and left out by his friends back home, but then how he made new ones in his new town and even joined a new band. I just felt that it was really well done and written.
