Kiss & Tell took me back to my One Direction fandom phase (but if I am being honest, I am not sure I ever left). Khorram definitely did his research on boy bands of the 21st century before writing this book and it shows. The nostalgia it brought me was definitely my favorite part of this title. I also thought that the theme of society expecting certain behavior from gay men and the author's intentional highlighting of different behaviors and identities within that community was brilliant. Unfortunately, I think it got overshadowed by some messy plot points and mediocre character building. I do not think that the majority of readers will be able to wade through the fluff to find the more hard-hitting aspects of this title which is why I rated it the way I did.
EDIT: I spoke to one of my friends, who is a gay man, about this novel. After our conversation, I realized that some of the plot points I called messy in my original review, had a purpose that I did not fully understand as I never was a gay teenage boy. I am keeping my rating of three stars for this title, but wanted to include this edit when posting my review on social media.
