LOVED this book. I laughed. I cried. My heart hurt from
how much I loved these characters. Such a cute
romance between Dev and Charlie with relatable
situations of mental health and the toxicity and
heteronormativity in Hollywood. Might go buy the
physical copy even though I own the digital just
because I loved it so much.

I really enjoyed all of the characters and the love story was cute and sweet. However, the pacing was odd in some places, and some parts felt over explained or analyzed (and a little repetitive). I would still say read it if you like sappy, cute romances with mental health and queer representation.

The name is fitting because everything about this book was offensive.

This was so cute!
I loved how effortless all the diversity in this book was, sometimes it feels forced but Cochran did it so seamlessly.
