Finished this book at 3 AM in the morning and all I could think about is Ruben and Zach and Angel and Jon *cries*
This book was just incredible. Yes, I expected boyband romance, yes, I expected angst and pining. But damn, it still caught me off guard.
What Sophie and Cale has created here is a riveting story about the pressure towards young artists (esp queer/marginalized artists), young people being exploited and controlled by the industry, trying to figure out your sexuality, figuring out what you really want and standing by it, finding family among strangers and coming together, and about finding strength and hope. And of course, a story about love.
This book has left a mark on me and I'll forever cherish this story about Ruben, Zach, Angel, and Jon. Kudos to the authors for this book! I cannot wait until it releases to the world! 💜
(E-arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This, of course, did not affect my overall opinion of the book.)
Also, I am officially part of the If This Gets Out Street Team! Look out for exciting stuff on my platforms and the whole team!
