It's safe to say [a:Simon James Green|16341016|Simon James Green|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1486657828p2/16341016.jpg] is becoming one of my favourite authors. I don't think he could write a bad book if he tried.
[b:You’re the One That I Want|56250281|You’re the One That I Want|Simon James Green|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1607699997l/56250281._SY75_.jpg|87626359] follows Freddie who's sick of being unassuming, he wants people to know who he is. So, with the help of his friends Ruby and Sam, he implements 'The Freddie Project'. Where he's going to say 'yes' and open himself up to new opportunities.
The plan has a rough start, but eventually Fred gets the hang of it. The plan leads to him being apart of his schools production of grease (well backstage after he gets major stage fright and bottles the audition), and even getting a cute boyfriend (well Zach wants to keep things 'casual' and 'fun', so nobody knows about the relationship except Ruby and Sam - still counts though, right?!).
This book was honestly so good. It deals with topics like how being gay can make it seem like you're a step behind relationship wise, because by the time you come out the straights have all this experience and you're left to play catch up and make all the mistakes others have already learned from.
My one grip with the book is that we didn't get more of Jasper. I wish he showed up more throughout the book, he and Freddie have great chemistry.

And I wanted more of Freddie and Jasper being in a relationship at the end. The majority of the book Freddie is in the toxic relationship with Zach, ignoring all the red flags. I more time of him happy with Jasp!

Fun read, you find yourself frustrated with Freddie at time because of his general view of himself, however this indicates good writing as your just rooting for him and want him to have better self esteem. Pretty true to how you feel as a teenager, (slight spoiler) main downfall was not enough time spent with the ultimate couple and could’ve had a better build up.

I read all of Green's books and this one did not disappoint at all. His charm is still there, the humor and hilarity is consistent throughout all of his novels. It will make you laugh your ass off, bawl your eyes out, and cringe but in a good way. It's just sooo good that I can't put it down even for a second.
