Maybe Grease isn't as good as I remember it

Ollie and Lara were great though

Thai was a fun and easy read. I really enjoyed the story of Ollie and Will. The side characters were also very interesting and I liked how the book dealt with themes like homophobia, grief and body shaming.
Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a fast but still very good queer book.

I saw queer grease retelling and was like 'sure!' totally forgetting that the entirety of what is good about grease is soundtrack and aesthetics. 
Luckily this good though! It doesn't really have any of the things I like about grease, but it's a cute fun ya romance with solid principles and I enjoyed it.

This one was cute and fun. I was a little annoyed (ok, a lot annoyed) by the way Will acted in the beginning half of the book, but I do like how people were actually communicating through problems in this and there wasn’t just “let’s kiss and make up” type stuff.
I did really want to punch Will multiple times in the beginning but I ended up liking him after a bit. Ollie was great and I liked how he was standing up for himself and all that good stuff (and how he stopped letting Will get away with stuff for a measly apology). 
Overall it was good and I liked (most of) the characters :)
