The first thing I would like to point out for this book would be to read the author's note -- I feel like it's a very important piece to this book.

For me, I feel like if you enjoyed Red, White, and Royal Blue, you will enjoy this book. Nobody in Particular is a story about the crown princess, Rosemary, and a new scholarship student, Dani, at a boarding school called Bramppath College. Both trying to find acceptance for who they are. Both from two different backgrounds, Both unable to avoid looking at each other.

The sweet sapphic relationship found in this book was well written and very thought-out when it came to dating someone famous and dealing with the paparazzi and social media. Overall, this was a really sweet read, but it was hard to keep my attention because I couldn't connect to the characters. I realize that I am not the targeted audience (age 36), but I would recommend this to teens who are interested in this genre.

I almost didn't finish this book because let's face it, some story lines interest us more than others and this book has A LOT going on, but I had to finish it. I had to see what happened. 

To me most of the characters very annoying and over the top with the exception of a few moments throughout the book.You could tell they cared about each other, but there was struggles about sexual identity and past (from almost every character) that we see throughout the book, However, there is so much growth for the 2 FMC'S and I feel that readers can appreciate that. The ending felt a little too rushed for me and I would have liked to see more in regards to some of the main characters.

Nobody in Particular is a heartwarming coming of age LGBTQIA+ novel that includes drama, love, and grief and a lot of emotions, with a gorgeous cover to go with the words inside.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC!
