Take a Bow, Noah Mitchell by Tobias Madden

Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.
I’m clearly not the target reader for this book. Teens might find things about Noah relatable, whereas I find them frustrating. I’m not okay with the level of deception in his relationship with magepants69. I’m not always a fan of lying romantic tropes, but this one especially bothers me considering he doesn’t just lie in person to his romantic interest, but uses his influence as an online friend to convince magepants to take a chance on Noah Mitchell. I think the writing is probably pretty realistic to a teenage boy, but I could have done with less talk about how
practically everything about Eli gives Noah an erection.
I kept going as long as I did because I read reviews that mentioned an open ending and it sounds like more family dynamics come into play, but that wasn’t a significant part of the plot by the halfway point.
