Darkhearts by James L. Sutter
4.0
This was a heartfelt YA celebrity romance that explores grief, bisexuality and second chances and sees two former high school friends turned enemies turned lovers finding solace with one another after their mutual friend overdoses on alcohol.
Perfect for fans of books like Kiss & Tell or If this gets out and great on audio narrated by Ramon de Ocampo. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the early ALC and Wednesday Books for sending me a gifted hardcover copy!
This was written by a new to me author and I'm excited to read what he writes next!

“Take it from me, dude - don’t get wrapped up in labels yet. Sexuality is…like this cinnamon roll. You see it, you think, ‘Damn, that looks good,’ so you eat it. If you like it, you do it again. Everything else - whether you’re bi or pan or sapiosexual or whatever the hell - that’s about labels, and politics, and creating shorthands for other people. That can be useful, and important for society, but you don’t have to pick a flag right out of the gate. Just let yourself like who you like.” (p. 125-6).
