this was a cute book but the mc was kinda annoying/childish. i do get it considering he's 16 but still. but also i guess that's part of the reason I don't really read YA/teen aged books much anymore.
The book idea was rather cute but the execution and the writing style made me feel like the story was simply dragging along and the thing that was supposed to give the reader a sense of urgency wasn't all that important. It felt like a waste of my time.
The representation is important, so that kids can see themselves, friends, allies, and community in a largely frothy romance. I'm far too old and fatally unhip (as always); did learn what a "getty" is. Romance Book Club pick.
at first i wasn’t 100% vibing with it but by the second half it really picks up and i quite liked the story from there
I’d say 4.5/5, honestly.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Listened to it all in one go, and related so much to Noah and Devon.
This book is so cute, and heartwarming, and I do love how easily Noah switches for Devon’s pronouns and introduces neo-pronouns to the world.
Loved it. Can’t wait to get my hands on my own copy.

Look, I get that Noah is a little brat who has clearly been spoiled and now that he has to do things on his own - well. But teenagers tend to think they know everything and can do everything: teenagers like Noah are still learning the world and themselves, and relationships and all. Sure, I am not trans and I am not a teenager anymore but I remember what it was like.
I thought this book was very cute but also an entertaining look into one boy's journey and growth into being just a little bit less selfish and having a wake-up call he desperately needed.
Sometimes you just need the one thing that makes you go huh, I've been going about this the wrong way entirely and I think Noah did get that. If he hadn't grown at all, I would have been much more annoyed by this book lmao.
the whole point of the story was that Noah had an idealized image for a relationship and for a life, and he needed to be snapped out of it. 16 is very young, but also old enough to start realizing that the world doesn't revolve around you.
sidenote, yes the stories in his blog were obviously fake, but also.. people see what they want to see. It made sense to me that people would flock to it, especially if most of the followers were young and hopeful. And that Noah would get an inflated sense of ego from it - honestly, if you're under 18, your internet time should seriously be restricted. Lmao.

listen, i cheered when he and drew broke up because holyshit it was painful. Neither of them were good to each other or right for each other. Noah prioritised his dumbass tumblr-blog over actually caring about Drew as a person and Drew cared little for actually communicating and well, liking Noah as a person. Devin is mature and sweet and too good for Noah but maybe that's what Noah needs.Sometimes you just need the one thing that makes you go huh, I've been going about this the wrong way entirely and I think Noah did get that.

This book means a lot to me, and I wish there were more! I love it.
Too cutesy for me, I think it is a very good YA romance for those who enjoy that
