There is a long sex scene near the end of the book involving two underage boys that made me feel icky to read (it felt voyeuristic to me)theboywithallthekeys's review against another edition

This book is bursting with amazing themes and good messages of loving yourself for who you are, not changing yourself for love (or anyone), doing what makes you happy regardless of what others think, sticking up for your friends, and just all around doing what makes you happiest. The side characters were all amazing and hilarious. The representation and diversity throughout is second to none. And the campy/theatre vibes going on throughout the book were wonderful and made my heart so happy.
The plot stays consistent and interesting throughout. I was engaged throughout the whole story and it never felt boring or too long. The character development was good and it was interesting to see Randy and the other characters grow and change throughout the book. There are some steamy romance scenes at the end...but as it's a YA the steam isn't too extreme. I expected to enjoy this book but I never imagined I would love this book as much as I did. This book was seriously amazing and a must read!
