If I had to describe this book I would do it using 3 of my all time favorite movies…. Shes all That, Never Been Kissed and You’ve Got mail. That’s right…let that sink in and then GO READ THIS BOOK!
This book was about so much more than a bet. It was about toxic and harmful external and internal stereotypes both intentional and not. I laughed so much and cried even more. They weren’t (all) tears of sadness but of heartfelt gut wrenching emotional connection to what these characters went thru. Riley was such a complex character.
I am stunned at this story. It really conveyed so much of what the LGBTQIA+ community goes thru. If you love found family vibes, friends to lovers, makeovers and all the queer representation you can fit into 313 pages then you won’t be disappointed
Side note: I read and listened to the audiobook because Jason June was the narrator OMG it was SPECTACULAR! So much passion and drama conveyed through the narration. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
