This was a very cute, high school drama story that I enjoyed listening to. Although Patch, our main character, had moments that had me rolling my eyes, his antics were very high school coded, so it made sense for the story. I liked the setting of the drama club and leading up to both the play and prom, and Patch had some really great friends.

I felt like the title also helped hold the expectations of the story, and I liked the added letter writing to his pen-pal that kind of felt like letters to the reader.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cute, high school story with drama and finding love.

this was pretty enjoyable! Patch was a pretty terrific mc (he did get a bit tiring at times, but overall he was hilarious), and the antics in this were quite fun. i do think Patch’s friends forgave him a bit too quickly considering how badly he acted towards them, but oh well.

i also really hoped Jean and Tessa would get into a relationship (with it being established that Jean is an extremely vocal ally, i thought this would go down the “very vocal about allyship➡️realizes she is attracted to women” road, like Imogen Obviously by Becky Albertalli), which it didnt. felt like quite the missed opportunity
