I can definitely see merit to this book in terms of the representation which is the main reason it gets a 2 instead of 1 cause the rest sucked.

This book had me hooked the whole time!! I don’t think I’ve ever read anything like it, the plot twists just had me going. 100 pages left and I had to literally take a break it was crazy- I loved every part of this so much, I hate to see it go but I’m so happy I experienced this book. Jason June has such a good writing style too, I definitely am getting more books by him!! Crest (Ross) and Sean actually just have my whole heart

✨Un YA sobre comedias románticas, sirénides y reconocernos como progatonistas de nuestra propia vida, una que no tenemos que amoldar al resto.

✨Ha terminado siendo una historia tierna, a pesar de lo que me ha costado comenzarla. Es el primer libro que leo en el que uno de los protas utiliza el pronombre "elle", y al comienzo se me ha hecho un poco raro, ya que hasta ahora todos los libros con personas no binarias los he leído en inglés, donde no hay tantas palabras con género. No obstante, muy fácil de leer (además de que es una novela juvenil con muchos "jopé" y similares).

✨Me ha parecido que se ha hecho mucho énfasis (de manera más sutil) en que Sean tiene un cuerpo no normativo (no se utiliza la palabra gordo, pero si rellenito y eufemismos similares). No sé si se trata de una cuestión de traducción, o si en la versión original también es así. No obstante, tras el "choque" inicial, creo que puede ser para que no nos olvidemos de esa realidad, ya que si eres como yo, te olvidas de cómo son los personajes físicamente, y es importante que las personas con cuerpos no normativos estemos representadas en todos los medios.
