Be Dazzled by Ryan La Sala

4.5

---

4.5/5 stars. I loved Raffy and Luca and all of the pop-culture delightfulness! I was expecting Be Dazzled to be a fun read and it did not disappoint. What I didn’t expect was my extreme emotional reaction to certain aspects of the story. A big portion of this book is about passion and purpose and what people are good at/driven to do. That content might not be something a reader would typically find overly emotional, but as someone solidly in a third-life crisis it had me all sorts of sobbing about my lack of direction/purpose/passion. So I guess that is my long winded content warning for others in a similar life situation, but even then I think it’s totally worth the read!
