Devoured this adorable queer romance filled with all the tropes. You can see the plot coming from a mile away and I was HERE for it. Everyone was gay, plus a full serving of ace rep, and three (3) they/thems. We love to see diversity within queer experiences the intersectionality of race and mental illness. Highly recommend to anyone who wants The Bachelor to be hella gay. Spiciness level: 3/5

I liked the book, but I didn’t love it. Maybe I just didn’t vibe with one of the characters.

Liked:
  • Loved the reality tv concept - felt like a spin on the Bachelor. Sounds like a show I would love to watch. 
  • Both boys are such cuties! Love how sweet the relationship was

Disliked:
  • Sometimes the talk about feeling anxious made me anxious. I liked the representation of mental health awareness, but it also felt like a lot at times

Me gusto mucho, pero es un libro bastante tranqui. Tiene una historia con un flow disfrutable y me gustó todo lo que era comentario social sobre los reality shows. Todos los personajes me cayeron bien y el growth personal esta bueno. Lo único capaz que el 85% del libro es bastante uniforme en lo que me hizo sentir. El final me encantó igual y no me lo esperaba.  Me gusto.
