According to my Kindle, I'm 49% through this. I put it down about a week ago and just can't seem to pick it back up. This is probably a fantastic book for some people, but I am not the audience this was aimed at. This wasn't necessarily poorly written; it just wasn't written for me and I'm ok with that. I hope others read and enjoy this.
It felt like reading fanfiction, which can be delightful or less so depending on the reader or mood, so YMMV on this one.
I really wanted to like this, but partying and excessive alcohol use aren't really something I like to read about. I would still recommend this to others because the writing was good and so were the characters, but for me I am uncomfortable with reading about that content.
There was a lot I liked about this book. I loved that the characters represented such a wide spectrum of the LGBTQAI+ community. The teen characters for the most part felt authentic in their emotions and the choices they made (which were sometimes impulsive). As an adult reading this book, I think the rock star part felt like pure fantasy, and it was the part I found the least interesting about these characters. But I think a lot of teens will enjoy that aspect. The book did a great job of capturing the feelings of first love, self-acceptance, self-discovery that a lot of teenagers experience.
A great book about fame, sexuality, gender identity and figuring out who you are. I greatly enjoyed the treatment of the LGBTQIA+ characters in the novel, and the frank way that the relationships between LGBTQIA+ children and their parents changes and deeply effects the child. Emmy's worries about bi erasure and "being a good bisexual' rang true, and are something that even other members of the LGBTQIA+ community needs to see.
