4.0
It’s late, so I’ll need to check my math later, but I think my average rating per story is 3.8. Let’s round up for fun.
Eraser Tattoo by Jason Reynolds
Made me cringe, self harm trigger, anti-climactic but cute rom 3 stars
Meet Cute by Melinda Lo
5 stars diverse and cleaver and adorable and dripping in fan culture cuteness
Don’t Pass Me By by Eric Gansworth
Nice rep, I think? kinda boring, meandering, slow moving plot. Good message about race, but not sure the point of anything else happening here. 3 stars
Be Cool for Once by Aminah Mae Safi
3.5 stars suspend disbelief but liked the ending made me lol & enjoyed the convo w/ love interests. Mention of f/f romance.
