2.5 really -- after "Trust the Focus" this one was kinda meh. There is nothing wrong with it, it's not a bad story. It just didn't have the same magic for me.

Probably the best one in the series thus far. Jay/JR & Quinn were really great characters. I loved them from the first sentence I read about them. And the supporting characters? All played their parts to perfection!

It took me over 4 years to get this book done. The epilogue made me shake & tear up, IDK why. I found an audiobook version at my library because they've recently gotten more M/M romances lately. Anywho, yay. It is definitely 2015 zeitgeist instead of 2016/7/8/9-20 but it was cool seeing that too. These days I'm fearing about getting killed during election day unrest, but whatever. I just wish us well. I'm thankful I finally got to see the rest of this book, thank God.

a note on reading progress (40%) because i need to look into some technical stuff on my kindle since i apparently hadn't had this book already marked for some reason, which is weird, but whatever.
so years ago tho idk how many i started reading this book & i basically started again like tonight when i wanted to read something fictional & less political to my cat. so i had already read the first 5 chapters those years ago & i read chapters 6 & 7 tonight. i also have already read the kindle sample of levi's book so this seems cool to jump into, however i have not read catwalk's book yet & i don't think i plan to.
---
so the book is very 2015ish. so that's like fun but dated. i need to finish this book as soon as possible due to that era spoilage. but yeah, i figured out that the homophobia that mirrors my life's transphobia is a form of sexual harrassment & hopefully that new court ruling from the supreme court in 2020 july will protect queer people from situations like JR is in, like Daron from "Daron's Guitar Chronicles" was in, like the firefighter from "Hot Head" was in, etc.

3 stars. This was really likeable, but I didn't like it as much as the first two of this series. I love that Jay is both Black and bi and I also love that bi-erasure and the difficulties bi folk can face feature in this story so centrally. This is well-written and enjoyable, but it didn't really grab me. I really like this series, though, and I like Erickson's writing, so I will read the next one.

I love bi representation, and I love Megan's other books, so I was excited for this one. I was not disappointed. I loved watching Quinn and Jay get together, and it made my heart so happy to see Jay figure himself out. This is probably my new favorite in the series.

I have been loving this series so, so much, but when I first read the blurb for Out of Frame, I was a little unsure for some reason. Hijinks on the high seas? Reality show spring break cruise?? I just didn’t know what to expect! But, I have to say this book was fun!! New characters to love…old favorites to squeal about…just a really nice weekend read.
Quinn was fantastic. I adored everything about him, from his red hair and freckles, right down to his neuroses. And, he and Jess together were both heartwarming and hilarious. Friendships like that don’t grow on trees, they are special, and I always love reading about them. Up until now, Quinn has needed a friend like Jess to help him cope with his overbearing parents, and to navigate life. But, finally breaking away from his folks, and making some choices for himself on this cruise, has made a world of difference in Quinn’s view of himself and what he’s capable of. I loved watching Quinn open up to the possibility of going out on his own after college, and to the reality of what was quickly unfolding with the infamous Trip League personality, J.R. Butler.
I also really liked J.R.’s character. Well, let’s be clear…I liked Jay’s character.
