Guess who’s back with another commentary that no one asked for? You’re damn right it’s me! I found this book kinda on accident and I decided to give it a try. Here’s the first part, hope you enjoy my rambling!

Chapter 1 to 10:

- Oh it’s present tense. Alright, I don’t thing I ever read anything like that. This should be interesting

- Hey, comparing feelings to Katy Perry songs is very valid. “Teenage dream” is an eternal bop and shall not be disrespected

- How many pop artists are gonna be mentioned in only the first chapter, cause I already lost count.

- I like the dynamic between Sebastian, Willie and Mason. There’s no toxic masculinity, we love to see it

- And we stan ally and father figure Coach Patrick as well! What a team!

- I’m really interested to know what happened between Sebastian and Emir. I bet I’m gonna have some ✨drama✨

- Dude, I know you haven’t seen him in years, but the gay yearning is breaking the charts, chill out

- “Do you need a little alone time?” Look, I know boys are gross, but still, ew

- So many characters... I know I’m gonna get them all confused. Just bare it with me okay

- “The gays approve” indeed, indeed

- Oh no. Grace, sorry, my bad, GrEy is “not like other girls”. Can we throw this trope in trash and light it on fire? Thanks

- I really want to like Grey, but unless she’s got a good reason to refuse anything feminine, it makes it so weirdly misogynistic. Cause, newsflash, you can like girly things and still be a strong, independent person who gets shit done. But I don’t want to be to harsh on her character yet because it can go ✨somewhere✨ interesting. Like, maybe the character is trans? Let’s wait and see

- Who’s gonna tell our protagonist he’s got a big fat crush on emir? Cause even I’m noticing and I’m the most oblivious bish there is!

- Of course emir has a British accent. Why am not surprised

- Mason is a whore, haha

- Emir just had a gay panic, oh sweetie

- “I promise it won’t get us arrested this time“ this book is funny 😆

- Sexuaaaaaaaal teeeeeeension

- Look, I don’t feel sexual attraction and I don’t have a penis, so I can’t speak for those two things, but like, do y’all just get b*ners this easily? Is that really a thing? You can’t just not make it happen? I’m honestly asking cause I don’t buy the b*ner plot device

- As a former catholic, i can assure that Rivera is very relatable when it comes to using the religion in vain, haha

- How old is Grey supposed to be? Idk if I should be uncomfortable shipping her with the other characters or not

- Why does this book hates women? What did they do to you?

- Drunk antics are only fun in fiction huh

A Valid™️ question. And actually maybe a good thing to offer patrons 🤔
