this shit slapped so hard. i am jealous of everyone in the world who gets to read it for the first time. the ONLY reason its not 5 stars is bc some of the writing was a little cringey imo.

the premise for this book seemed interesting but the execution was just…not good. the writing was weird and so was the pacing and there wasn’t a lot of chemistry between the characters AND it was very insta love. but it was just an easy little romance so it wasn’t terrible

I enjoyed this book. I don’t love graphic novels, and the writing wasn’t my absolute favorite, but the story was very compelling, and it made me a little bit emotional. I wish the characters were introduced better instead of just thrown onto the page because that would make it easier to keep track of them bc there are kinda a lot of characters for a short book and many of them have similar names.

i LOVED the first half of this book. in the second half, dev kinda annoyed me. he shouldnt have acted the way he did and he should have had to apologize WAAAAAYYYYYYY more to everyone. but i loved charlie. i liked his publicist, even though sometimes she acted like a caricature. i really appreciated the way mental illness was depicted, too. overall, i did really enjoy it. it is a super cute queer romance.

As far as I’m concerned, Mackenzi Lee can do no wrong. I really enjoyed this book. Tbh, my least favorite thing was the plot. Like the dragon thing was so weird??? But I loved the setting, the writing, and the characters. Felicity is such an interesting protagonist and obviously I LOVE monty & percy more than life itself. They are so sweet and the way that they both put their struggling careers on hold just to come find Felicity was the sweetest thing ever. Besides the dragons, there were some other things that bothered me.
1) Felicity’s characterization doesn’t quite match “Getting Lucky” bc in that, she is not at all homophobic, and she very explicitly speaks about sex with Monty, but she seems uncomfortable with the idea of sex in this.
2) She mentions being homophobic bc of the Bible, but she doesn’t mention all the sexism in the Bible. I felt like she should have mentioned that.
3) Felicity honestly didn’t seem as upset as I felt like she should be when she found out that her hero was a POS. He was basically her whole life’s inspiration and she was just like, a little bit mad that he actually sucked.

I didn’t love the writing style of this book. I thought the newspaper clippings were a nice touch, but I didn’t like how they were integrated. What I did really like was how it humanized the hippies of the Haight. Instead of vague historical characters, they became real people, with their own stories, flaws, and prejudices, and they changed the world.
