This is a cute story but it is so short I found myself continually waiting for the story to go somewhere major.
I'm not a fan of explicit sexual content but this was pretty okay. The karaoke offsets a lot of the speed the relationship develops though I do wish it had been a slower burn. Sam and Lily deserved the time to grow into themselves (and each other, wink) alongside their other relationships.

Cute and comfortably predictable. Relatable characters. Given the ages of the characters I was surprised how YA their love story felt, and given how short it is there was a high ratio of smut, but if that's your thing this might be a great fit.

Okay this is so good??? Found this on Libby and knew nothing about it, but wow, I am so glad to have discovered it! 🥹
Karaoke love story featuring nonbinary/genderqueer MC + fat heroine?! YES PLEASE
Loved the chemistry between Sam and Lily, I swear. I could almost feel it through the pages??? Loved the conversations about gender and body diversity, too. I could relate to a lot of their struggles and feelings, especially as another fat, genderqueer person.
This was so so precious. Glad to mark this as my first read for Pride Month! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

"Sing Anyway" nos presenta un romance adorable contado en dos puntos de vista.
Se aprecia el nivel de representación que hay en el libro y la forma en la que se manejó. Se siente muy honesto y natural, es evidente que la autora tiene cariño por los personajes.
Como es romance, hay un conflicto en el tercer acto para generar tensión que no aporta mucho. Entiendo que necesita algo de drama pero por la extención del libro, tal vez no hacía falta. Aunque sí debo decir que el cliché de "mala comunicación" está bien usado, y se siente muy real en el contexto de la historia.
En resumen, una lectura adorable y rápida, con algunas escenas "spicy" que esperaba con esa portada tan tierna, pero que no sacan del foco de la historia.
TW: disforia de género y gordofobia.

"Sing Anyway" is a very cute romance book told in two POVs.
I appreciated the representation in this book and how it was handled, it's evident the author really cares for the characters.
The conflict in the third act felt a little "meh", but I guess otherwise there was no external conflict.
An adorable read a little more steamy than I was expecting with that cover.
TW: discussions of gender dysphoria and fatphobia.

Cute, sweet, loved the fat FMC (Female Main Character) and the NBMC (nonbinary main character). I think part of me wishes it were longer, and we got more time to explore these characters and their stories.
