One of my new favorites and I really didn’t expect it! I loved how each character felt real and had a story that was actually explored instead of forgotten mid-way through, now that made me really like and root for the characters by the end! It actually made me really emotional at times by the way it deals with grief in a real  way but overall It was a ridiculously fun read with messy lovable dumbasses <3 Plus I loved the relationship between the characters and how they were explored in such a short time! Definitely check the CW’s before reading though man <3

“You’ve got us” Darnell said.

“Yeah. Like they’d even try that shit.” Matt added. 

“Besides,” Lara jumped in, grinning over at Juliette as she did. “Even if they did, we can scream louder.”

Ollie and Lara were great though

4.5

this sounded like the perfect book for me. romance + musical theater inspired sounds like a dream come true, making it queer, well that’s just the icing on top.

this book hits the many many scenes of grease and it felt like coming home and discovering something new all at once. 

i really truly loved this book. i loved both mc’s and absolutely adored the friends group and their dynamics. 

this book was a bit heavy, i’ll admit. it kind of wrecked me and i kind of did not appreciate that. 

all in all, i’m thrilled to have read a book from this author before she releases her upcoming sapphic novel that i am so stoked for!!
