The Feeling of Falling in Love by Mason Deaver
3.0
i want to preface this review with two things — one, i’m incredibly thankful a book like this exists today, that the trans youth of today gets books like these to read and to grow up with, when ppl my age (and even more so ppl that are older than me) grew up with no representation, or only fanfic to rely on. two, i read this fully knowing that i cannot stand ya romances and that this would therefore be an average experience for me personally at most. so this rating is very much subjective.
anyway! bc im lazy and it’s late my review is just going to be all the bullet points i wrote down while i was reading. enjoy.
- who the fuck has a fwb situation in highschool
- how is this so painfully american
- how does the mc not know anything (in regards to them 1. not knowing saying apparently and 2. NOT KNOWING ABT THE EYELASH WISH THING?????)
- wyatt getting hired as a singer at this big wedding with intense planning but oh, the singer fell through! and ofc they didn’t have any backup planned at all and would just use some random highschool kid bc they’ve heard them sing once - makes perfect sense.
- never seen a musician less passionate abt music in my life
- the whole mom situation pissed me off so much. what he said wasn’t even that rude, she deserved to hear it, and acting like the mc was the one in the wrong and the one who needed to apologise was so fucked, + the way that that one conversation suddenly fixed everything and completely changed who the mother was as a person (based on the author’s portrayal of her for the entire rest of the book) made absolutely zero sense
- racing to fly to them in the middle of the wedding after they had just said they needed space is so deeply selfish and the fact that everything worked out after they disrespected wyatt’s boundaries kinda annoyed me
i know this sounds very negative but i never write notes on anything i like sorry, this book is still something that i wish every single transmasc teen out there could get to read. especially those like me who didn’t get that out at highschool, post-transition, love story experience.
