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

“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.”

This was the cutest loveliest book. It tackled the high school experience so well, and the nuances of sexuality and coming out. I really enjoyed it on audio!

A cute, believable* high school gay romance retelling of Grease w/out the weird sexist ending. I also like it when they allow bi characters to end up w the opposite sex sometimes. Am seeing it more and more often now so hopefully it won't be a big deal soon. The side plot about Aunt Linda kinda fucked me up ngl. *believeable in terms of how they acted, not how homophobic north carolina is

a great read! i didn't even realize/remember it was a grease retelling! my favourite parts were the accepting moments between the two mains and their friends. all the characters in this book basically went through a maturation when they realized that reciprocating kindness and understanding will get them further than sheer snark and judginess. my most disappointing part was the teen speak, sigh, i just don't think teens (or anyone) have that much internal commentary going on. i know my brain was certainly empty most of the time. my most cried part was the discussions of grief - it always gets me grr.
