This book was super cute and very fun while also being incredibly important in its statement. It largely centers around the discriminatory agendas being pushed at schools specifically targeting LGBTQIA+ history and people while starting as a fun revenge plot on our main characters’ ex-boyfriends. Watching these characters, and specifically Ezra, grow into themselves and become stronger versions of themselves is really nice. Also, the TikTok aspect of this book was relatable and actually exciting, like I was pumped to see what their next upload would be and how people would react (art imitates life, I suppose 😅) also the rep here is FANTASTIC, this small town in Alabama has soooo much queerdom going on I’m obsessed and ready to move (jk but still 😂) 

The blossoming romance between Kackson and Ezra made me soooo happy! Like they are soooo cute together and I love that they each get a win here after how they were treated by Presley. Jackson is such a lil puppy dog and the fact that he’d been crushing for so long on Ezra is incredibly sweet.


I will say that I wish the ending weren’t left to the imagination as much with this one. I think that we could have gotten a more firm conclusion here, seeing the final interview and School Board meeting and verdict. With the way the antagonists were so openly harassing students and cartoonishly villainous, that would have been incredibly rewarding and balance out the horrible behavior and bullying a bit better. That said, the presumption of the HEA these characters deserve is very nice!

Overall, I loved this book, I love our protagonists and this would definitely make a super cute movie!
