Blaine's boyfriend breaks up with him on their 1 year anniversary because Blaine is not a "serious guy." After the breakup, Blaine decided to give up painting murals and run for senior class president to prove to his ex that he can be a serious guy and to try to win him back. Is Blaine really willing to sacrifice what he loves and who he is?
Yes Yes Yes! All around yes! I loved this book! It was very different from the sky blues but it was still so good! Such a feel-good story!! It was funny and super sweet and just all-around adorable. I liked that there was no homophobic parts within the storyline, it was just so pure. I also loved and appreciated that part of the storyline revolved around the importance of mental health for students. That is such an important thing that schools need to take seriously. Oh, and the side characters are amazing! Love them all. I thought it was a nice diverse group of characters.
If you loved Legally Blonde then you will love this book. There are so many little things that bring forth the Legally Blonde vibes, from the characters to the plot, all of it. Legally Blonde but make it gay! What's not to love about that?
