3.0

pros:
it was a fun and silly and unserious read to start off pride month. it was also healing to read a cute little lgbt story where the crux wasn’t on how hard it was being gay. i loved that it was theater kids and brought me back to my missed theater days.

cons:
it felt a little tropey. some of the characters felt flat. i think there were some things the family did that were inexcusable: ie not learning asl for their deaf son. at some point the “somethingsomething” became cumbersome along with the strikes in writing. i also resent the sister and felt like she harmed way more than was necessary.

DID NOT FINISH: 4%

This book in the print form contains a lot of crossed out lines (~~like this~~) and it's part of the voice of the story which works. However, the audiobook narrates these lines by having the narrator say 'scratch that' after every single one. And it got very distracting and annoying very quickly. Granted, I have no idea how else to reflect crossed out text in an audiobook format, but I couldn't keep listening. I'll borrow this book in print instead.
