I listened to the audiobook of this, and it made the reading - or rather, listening - experience a really memorable one. Perhaps if I had just read the text, I would have enjoyed it less but right now I truly can't give it anything less than 4 1/2 at least! The book was a real treat. :)
I'm still not sure how to rate this book. The utopian city the main character lives in is a hard sell, as nice of a thought as it might be. I really like the idea of LGBT books (especially YA LGBT books) that are pure escapist fantasies, because that can be a very positive and inspiring thing, but parts of this book just feel inauthentic for reasons I can't quite put my finger on. Some of the characters and dialogue feel too quirky and clever for their own good, and that makes even the good moments ring hollow. Still, it was a hard book for me to truly dislike. It's short, mostly enjoyable fluff, though it could have been much better.
Dear person reading this review, I implore you to lead your eyes to a site, library, or bookstore where you can instead read this book.
Seriously! Anyone who loves romcoms will [probably] love this book. It is so... hmmm how to describe. ‘Boy Meets Boy' is such a great book about love and life that I almost want to pick it up again for another read even though I just finished it 10 minutes ago. The characters never failed to make me smile or laugh leaving me with wanting more [which thankfully i got with a side story about Infinite Darlene!!!! [[yay!!!]]]
I have such feels right now hahaha. I love feeling happy and energetic after a book and I honestly want to go out and explore the world around me.
Definitely recommend. Please read.
The writing style was a bit hard to get used to, I'm not really sure I ever did. It was a cute book, but maybe not that realistic about teenagers.
