Make way for a new couple to root for in this fun and emotionally driven duet narration that will leave you reeling with the utmost happiness and a cheesy grin on your face.
 
I absolutely adored Audre x Bash Are Just Friends. I'll be honest, I didn't really read the synopsis. All I saw was that Tia Williams was releasing a YA and I immediately requested. No thoughts, just glee! Imagine my absolute delight when I find out that Eva x Shane are IN THIS and I was squealing!
 
I loved the glimpses of Audre in Seven Days in June as a bright and intuitive kid, And this, is still very true in her own book.
 
The novel explores anxiety, the complexity of expectations from parent to child, friendship, vulnerability, and first love. On the subject of love, Bash is an excellent love interest who is sweet, caring, and mindful. I loved seeing how Audre had to shift her own perception of him because of rumors and how his outward appearance doesn't match his persona (gender non-comforming). He is also a complex character with a harsh past that weighed heavy on my heart. It is refreshing to see someone like Bash depicted on the page, making his very existence authentic and inclusive. Seeing how their relationship blossoms is so sweet it'll give you a cavity, and the chemistry between these two is charming with sharp and witty banter.
 
Tia Williams is the blueprint for romances and as her YA debut? This was a KNOCKOUT!! *gives all the stars*
