Meet Cute Diary by Emery Lee
3.0

I got recommended this book because of the LGBT themes of this book. I enjoyed it more than I thought at first before reading it.

One thing that stuck with me most with the book was how Noah respected Devin's exploration of eir pronounce. Starting to use the new pronounce immediately after Devin tells him that e wants to change it.

Also the thing with Drew, despite being seeing through rose-colored glasses throughout the majority of the book, not staying the love interest at the end, once it was discovered that he and Noah weren't compatible together. It is a good example of a young person having their own idea of what love should look like and falling head over heels for someone that seems perfect at first glance. After breaking up with Drew, before Noah and Devin end up together, these two formed a good friendship first. Respecting each others boundaries and such. Even before Noah confesses his feelings towards Devin, there is a feel that e is much better for Noah compared to Drew.

Brian, Noah's brother was a really well build character and a good example of an ally. It had been established early on that Brian and his girlfriend Maggie were really into each other, so when Maggie shared her opinion to Brian, showing that she sees Noah as a girl despite knowing that he is a trans man, Brian could have tried to keep Maggie in his life and try to support Noah in his own way but as the scene progresses, it is revealed that Brian broke up with Maggie. It had been showed on numerous occasions that Brian really cares for Noah but, at least for me, that scene solidified that feeling for me.
