boring, confusing and the first 38% is all “my father made this all up.... or didn't he?” ugh 

what's with the piss thing,,,, but still a fun and weird book and a quick read. greatly encapsulates what it feels like to study abroad and feel like an alien 

it's weird but compelling weird and the right kind of pretentious. kinda reminds me of Sally Rooney if she did horror. the second half was more interesting, I couldn't stop reading and i didn't expect the final plot twist

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Trixie and Lux are excited to finally get out of their town for the weekend but a night of violence changes everything and the girls will have to try survive on their own.

I LOVED this book! I could really feel the anxiety the two girls felt while they were escaping from the media and the cops. At times I had to put down the book and just breathe.

Trixie was passionate, impulsive and hopelessly in love with her best friend Lux. At first I was rooting for them, but reading further I realized their relationship was quite toxic because they completely isolated themselves from the rest of the world and they wouldn't let anyone into their little bubble.

I really loved the description of the places and I really felt like I was travelling alongside with Trixe and Lux.

The book was fast-paced and a total page-turner and I ended up devouring it in less than three days.

I highly recommend it to fans of Courtney Summers and those looking for an intriguing YA thriller!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an early copy!

I love both Sophie Gonzales and Cale Dietrich so I was suuuper excited to get my hands on this one!

If This Gets Out is a beautiful story about two members of the most famous boy-band who fall in love, discover themselves and take down the music industry, one song at a time.

I loved all the characters, they were very well-written and I could feel the friendship that bonded them. I especially appreciated the fact that being queer wasn't an issue for any of them and they weren't weirded out by people shipping them.

Sophie and Cale both write beautifully and I hope this is just the first of many more collaborations in the future!

I highly recommend this to any YA lover and to those who love a story about discovering themselves and finding love in the most unexpected places.
