Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It's so cute and I love the banter between all the characters. It feels just like me and my friends as well as partner. I've never been really into boy bands or known much about them, but this was still interesting and very entertaining. A few lines did make me cringe but overall its solid. 

I’m very happy to see this kind of representation in books. Even though I know it’s not the first of its kind or even probably the best depiction of the queer experience, I personally related a lot to Zach and I love that this exists. Brb, gonna go read the other 30 LGBT+ contemporaries on my to be read list. 

Also, this was my first time reading an ebook and I was shocked at how fast it flew by. It's over 500 pages (depending on whether mobile or desktop ebook) and only took me two days, which considering how busy I am is impressive. Definitely won't be the last time I read digital books, but there still is something more satisfying about holding it in my hands and being able to admire the cover. 

Side note: My friend described this book as πŸ˜«πŸ˜«πŸ˜«πŸ˜«πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸŒˆ, with that exact amount of each emoji, and I can't say its inaccurate.
