A review by gregoryreadscomics
Kiss & Tell by Adib Khorram

5.0

This book is kind of a red haring in a way where it seems to be a cute love story and is actually a great soliloquy for the toxicity that comes with fame (especially fame at a young age) as well as, in my opinion, the after effects of an emotionally abusive relationship. I say that last part because I 100% believe that Aidan was abusive towards Hunter. There’s an underlying layer of ick I feel while reading this in regards to how controlled Hunter is without addressing it be it by himself and his own anxieties with fame or by the ever present The Label. It genuinely made me uncomfortable but I think that was the purpose. I also think Hunter gets gaslit by everyone around him a lot when yes he does have some growing up to do but the things people say to him are extremely out of pocket in some cases. However, all that being said this book is amazing. The marks of a good book are how passionately it makes you feel and as you can tell, I am passionate about this story.
