Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales
5.0

4.5 stars

I love this book so much! It was very sweet, but also managed to handle some pretty intense topics, like homophobia, biphobia, death, and grief. I thought Ollie was a cute protagonist who was very in his head for most of the book, but did also have some growth throughout the book: he realized that while he was being hurt by Will, he had also failed to take into account Will's feelings, which I thought was very mature for a teen character.

I always love Sophie Gonzales' side characters as well, and this was no different. I really liked both Ollie and Will's friend groups and how they meshed together. Overall, a super fun and quick read and I really enjoyed it!
