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!!

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.
