Blaine for the Win by Robbie Couch
4.0
I cannot believe I read this in one sitting. Although actually I can, because it was a surprising addicting read.
Blaine for the Win is a YA contemporary romance that, honestly, focuses more on internal struggles and growth than romance. And I love that. While we all need a good romance every now and then, books that acknowledge romance as being nice, but not vital to our success as humans, are incredibly important.
Couch weaves a fun, cute story using the threads of friendship, self-worth, and identity (and yes, a bit of adorable romance). While I do believe that the story moved a bit fast— or is this just because I read it in one sitting?— it is the perfect light read for people who love YA novels with sweet friendships and LGBT representation.
Oh! This book comes out tomorrow/today since it is now past midnight!!! Perfect timing- go read it!
Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an ARC via Netgalley.
