Straight Expectations by Calum McSwiggan
2.0
hopeful lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It was okay. I just found it be very very stereotypical and missed the mark when it comes to queer issues and privilege. It started to become preachy about some things and the main character wasn't very likable in either world. I liked Dean and Oliver and feel like they were well rounded considering Dean wasn't in half the book but the main character made me cringe way too much.
