At first, I was not liking this book much, but I kept listening to it and at some point I started to liked it. Still, it felt just like one more YA queer book, nothing special, not a book to re-visit in the future.

My favourite thing of this book is the def representation, and my least favourite was all the attention the main character gave to the physical appearance of his love interest (who didn't want to be seen as a hot guy, yet the author decided the protagonist cared about that fact a lot).

Also, I'm not sure how the printed book is, but in the audiobook the narrator would say "Scratch it" very often when Jackson wanted to correct himself, and I found it very annoying.

a love letter to the theatre kids, both onstage and behind the scenes!

i had a lot of fun reading jackson and liam's story! it's messy and complicated, but also super heartfelt. i also loved bowie's character, i would definitely read a book about them! even though i could see the miscommunication & conflict coming, it somehow was even more dramatic than i had anticipated. jasmine... i've got some words for you! there were also a lot of different identities represented in this story and i think that it will mean a lot to a lot of young readers!

thank you to penguin teen & netgalley for the eARC!

I’m pretty sure I’ve cried reading every one of Adib Khorram’s books. They’re always spectacular!
