holy crap. i read this in nine hours, and i’m obsessed with it. alex and henry are so STUPID and i love them SO MUCH.

it made me laugh (A LOT) and anything that references Hamilton and Drag Race is an immediate win in my book.

absolutely loved it, already want to read it again.

i happy wept my way through this entire book. it’s so LOVELY and utterly precious and i would give my life for legitimately any character, should they ask me to. i actually hugged the book when i finished it.

the children are just so sweet and perfect and ARTHUR is lovely and oh, linus.

this is possibly the most precious thing i have ever read. it’s going to stay with me for a long time, and i already cannot wait to read it again.

3.5, rounding up.

this was a fun read! i related way more to nick than i probably should feel comfortable with, and i enjoyed seeing him work through some shit the same way i do: denial until i can’t deny anymore.

overall an enjoyable read.

i wanted to like this SO BADLY but i really struggled with it. the first half was rough and i nearly gave up a few times, but oliver was a delight and i kept pushing through. also, it’s in first person which is another thing i very much struggled with.

it definitely got better toward the middle, but then the end was kind of rushed and just... okay? also, WHY ADD A CONFLICT IN THE LAST FIFTEEN PAGES? ugh.

i didn’t hate it, but i don’t know that i’d read it again.

i just think i love rainbow rowell. these were very cute short stories.

obsessed. this drew me in from the beginning, and i loved all of it.

julian is a whole mess and i absolutely adore him. i rooted for yadriel the whole time, and it was great to see his confidence grow as the book continued. also maritza? total badass. i just really love them all.

definitely read this one.

3.5, rounding up.

this was cute! i am unfamiliar with the play and the story, so that may have been a factor here, but i did enjoy this.

also i grew up in indiana and i can confirm damn near everything in this as hard fact. ugh.

overall a cute, fun read.

i really liked this! the fat rep is friggin amazing, and i would have died to read a book like this as a teenager. i had less than zero self esteem, so to see felipe go from where to did to where he ended? puts a lump in my throat.

also, i adore becky. bless her.

listen, i *adore* this. liz is entirely too relatable, down to her anxiety at being seen and i just can’t stop smiling at the ending.

it was a lot of fun, and i loved it very much.

this and this and this.

i’m a fucking mess. read this.
