myntop 's review for:
Only Mostly Devastated
by Sophie Gonzales
I was so lucky and excited to win a copy of this book. I love the idea of a modern spin on a Grease kind of situation. I was not disappointed. This book was amazing. It had emotion, difficult situations, friendship and love.
Ollie has a summer romance and never thinks he'll end up at the same school as Will, but life doesn't always work out the way we planned and after Ollie's aunt gets sick, his family ends up moving to North Carolina. Will, not being out, decides to ignore Ollie or treat him badly in front of his friends.
There were several things that really stuck out to me in this book. First, was how the girl who seemed the snarkiest, was the one who really just needed someone to talk to who might understand what she was going through. Next, your friends should have your back and support your dreams, always. Also, when you need your friends, they should be there for you, even if you're not getting along the greatest at the time. And finally, you should be true to who you are, and those who love you will accept you for that, BUT everyone comes to this understanding at their own pace.
There are very sad parts to this book, and I did need some tissues on occasion. However, it was very well written and I recommend it for anyone who loves a good YA Contemporary Romance.
