A review by mijsfranssen
The State of Us by Shaun David Hutchinson

4.0

I updated my rating system for this year so it makes sense :))

4/5 ✨ i enjoyed it a lot

I enjoyed this book so much. It was lovely. I liked that the chapters differentiated between Dre’s and Dean’s POV. The characters were great, the plot was good, I enjoyed it lots. It is great for fans for Red White and Royal blue, but this is YA and therefore is a little different in wording, story and there are far less explicit scenes.

The fact that this story is so diverse, made it even more enjoyable. There is ofcourse gay representation, but also ace spectrum, lesbian, plus size, and POC in there.

The reason why it is not getting five stars, is because it is very very YA, which is not necessarily bad, but it made me relate a little less.
