- lgbtqiap+, ya, contemporary, romance, boys in love (, pining, i love this book more than you know, sarcastic mc, bff i'd like to steal (definitely talking about lara here), favourite protagonist
- m|m
- gay mc, bi love interest, bi sc
this is my second sophie gonzales book and am happy to share that she does not disappoint
(๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ bc i enjoyed every moment i spent reading this book!!
ollie is such a fun protagonist, he is snarky, making the pun-fect jokes that made me cackle at the most inappropriate times. he easily became one of my favourite characters the moment we met!!!
what can i say, am a simple person who loves a 'self-deprecating' mc with 'deadpan humour' 😂 i love ollie, can you tell? also the asshole with a heart of gold? yep, she grew on me as well!! 😌
i thought the characters were enjoyable and am glad that sophie did not let that shy her away from calling them out on their biases, it's honestly amazing to see characters realise their mistakes and learn to do better; the author talked about many serious topics with much care and sensitivity without letting things get too heavy. all in all, i would 110% recommend this book!! (っ´ω`)ﾉ
omd was such a fun and might i add adorable book to read that definitely gets full points for making me go blurry eyed, am very sad now that it's over but please let this be my official plea to sophie to write a novella one day where future will and ollie get married!!! (ﾉT_T )ノ
cw: homophobia (called out), biphobia (called out), fatphobia (called out), family member with terminal illness, cancer, death of loved one, body shaming.
