This was such a fun read!!! I haven't finished a book in one day like this in a long time. I just couldn't put it down. It was incredibly.
I loved the representation! Not just queer rep (with multiple character using they/them pronouns) but also the disability rep!! I didn't even know this book had that until I started, so it was an amazing surprise. I don't have the same disability as the main character so I can't speak from experience, but I think the author did an amazing job.
I also loved that the main character worked backstage. There are so many stories where a character has a role in the play or musical, so it was a nice change to get a view of what happens backstage.
Jackson and Liam had great chemistry and it had me grinning from the start. They were super adorable together.
GOD, Jasmine annoyed me SO MUCH. I once even wanted to throw the book at a wall - but I didn't because I loved the book too much.
Also, shoutout to Bowie for being such an amazing best friend. They're so awesome.
There is so much more to say about this book, but I am still on the high of finishing a fantastic book
