I finally finished my eARC of Wren Martin Ruins it All by Amanda Dewitt and it was nothing short of delightful!!! Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC <3

IThis novel is so incredibly, wonderfully queer, and with all its wit and all its heart, it has been such a lovely break from all the stress of real life these past few weeks! I cannot recommend it enough! <3 <3 <3

Wren is a wonderful main character, and I loved getting to know him, his humor, his grief, his big oblivious heart!!! Following along as he slowly figures out his own feelings was such a joy, and I adored the chemistry between the characters! The entire student council team has my heart <3

It was also SO refreshing to read a queer YA novel where queer-phobia or coming out isn’t the focal point of the story. Those stories are important, but this one is too! A story where the main characters are allowed to just deal with their messy feelings and their grief.

Wren Martin Ruins It All is one of my new favorites.  It was such a well-written and comforting read.  The humor of this was so good, the characters and the friendships were amazing.  I loved Wren and his questionable yellow plaid fashion.

The ace rep was so good!  Wren already knew he was asexual and just having that be a casual fact about him was really nice to read, showing he could simply exist.  Having an asexual main character AND even an aromantic side character was very exciting to me since half the time people don’t even differentiate the two.

This book dealt with Wren finding out what to do with the rest of his life, finishing high school, and finding a plan for his future.  It dealt with grief and surviving past the worst day of his life when he didn’t think he would.  There were some heavy moments but for the most part this book was lighthearted, funny, and comforting.

Leo and Wren were both favorites of mine and I loved all the banter and Wren just absolutely not being able to stand the guy, meanwhile, Leo just kept showing up.  It was hilarious.

Thanks to NetGalley and Peachtree Teen for the ebook ARC of this in exchange for an honest review.
