I never thought a book about a diverse boy band would have so much depth and discussions on race, sexuality, and what it means to be gay. I thoroughly enjoyed this way more than I thought I would, even though I did have trouble at time differentiating characters who didn't get as much on page time. There isn't a single topic that gets brought up in the book that misses the mark, everything about the way boy bands are weirdly expected to be pure and get stereotyped, and how being queer is treated in the entertainment industry. (and really everywhere!)
I do have some sus theories about the queer country artist that Hunter meets, I wish we had seen a little more of him. There were a few other threads that seemed to kind of just get dropped with how the seemingly quickly the book ended, I wish we had more from some of the characters.
A short read about the the importance of staying true to who you are, and not being ashamed.
I recommend this book!
