stardewmoonie 's review for:

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
2.0

this book tries so hard to check all the boxes with representation and it feels so forced. everyone has a mental illness, everyone's lgbtq+, everyone's a poc (though you actually could never tell if the author didn't tell you "look, he's indian, he has an indian name"). the romance was lackluster, they mostly bond over their mental illnesses. the last scene was cringe-worthy. not that bad but not very good
