Funny and an engaging plot, this book is good for a middle-grade reader. The main character was incredibly flawed, and I would have liked to see more clarity on the critic of this character by those around them in the conclusion.

5/5 for authentic representation
2/5 for rushed storyline and two-dimensional characters.
I’m not even mad about Lauri/Ren being a shitty person. It’s realistic and I can see how draining it was being caught up in constantly trying to conceal who they were. Plus I got a lot of depressed vibes (the executive dysfunction was REAL in this one). I also get that the story-line and characters weren’t as fleshed out as I’d have liked because it was a Hi-Lo novel. But I still wish it was better.

I think this would be a good one to have on a high school library shelf. Diverse representation, and a reminder that you don’t get to be a shitty person while you’re figuring yourself out.

If you're an older reader, you will see pretty much everything that is going to happen. If you've heard of, read, or watched the Netflix adaptation of The Prom, it's eerily similar storyline.
