Blaine for the Win by Robbie Couch
4.0
Blaine for the Win follows mural artist Blaine as he decides to run for senior student council president, after his boyfriend dumps him for being too 'unserious.' However, what started out as a way to win back his ex turns into a real campaign, with the help of his friends Trish, Camila, and Danny.
I loved the characters here and how complex they are. Blaine isn't the perfect hero of the story. He makes mistakes and is selfish at times, and while I got frustrated with him and the choices he made, he always felt realistic.
The plot focuses on the election, with some side of Blaine's murals and family. The plot was a bit predictable, I didn't mind as the journey and our character's relationships took precedence.
I would have liked a bit more romance. The bit of romance that we got did need more development. It was mainly suggested at, and then when we got it, it was more of a nod as the book's loose ends were tidied up at the end.
