Only Mostly Devastated surprised me in a lot of good ways. It kept my interest much more than most young adult romances - and actually, I wouldn't even necessarily describe it as a romance. Yes, there was young love in it, but the focus was much more on the characters themselves and how they developed and grew together and individually.
There was a found family element to this that was so entertaining. It was the most chaotic, disruptive, and sometimes stressful family, but I enjoyed reading about each of them and seeing how they changed as the story went on. The support that was a running theme throughout the book was really pleasing. I like when characters encourage one another to be themselves. Sure, there was teen drama and plenty of it, but for the most part, the characters did grow and learn from the harm they sometimes caused.
What I did feel was a bit of a disconnect. This is primarily just because I'm an adult reading a young adult book and I recognize that's a very normal thing. I'm not reading this to feel connection to the characters. I liked them, but I don't think I'll be revisiting the book. However, I do plan to read some of the author's other works because I liked the style of writing and the story itself.

this book hits the many many scenes of grease and it felt like coming home and discovering something new all at once.
i really truly loved this book. i loved both mc’s and absolutely adored the friends group and their dynamics.
this book was a bit heavy, i’ll admit. it kind of wrecked me and i kind of did not appreciate that.
all in all, i’m thrilled to have read a book from this author before she releases her upcoming sapphic novel that i am so stoked for!!
