This book is an absolute must-read. It is so necessary for young LGBTQ+ people to be able to see that their voices matter and in spite of the vehement anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric out there today (book banning, don't say gay), we matter.

The Last Boyfriends Rules For Revenge was such a fun story and a powerful one. It was giving all of the "John Tucker Must Die" and "First Wives Club" realness. The pop culture references were tasteful as well.

There is an extremely emotional, personal, and triumphant story about our main characters taking on their school district's version of the "Don't Say Gay Bill". But this proves just how strong and powerful LGBTQ+ people and youth are. Especially when we are pushed around by bigots.

This truly gave me so much hope in the power of our next generation, I think this book will help and save LGBTQ+ kids. Save them from living afraid to stand up for themselves and their community against hate. A little noise and raising hell moves mountains.

"We're here, we're queer and we're not going any where" is the best way to describe this book. Well deserved 5 star review and read!

Ezra feels down after he finds out his boyfriend has been seeing other people and using him. He feels like he’s undateable and like no one will ever want him. He and his two best friends have all had their hearts broken and they form The Last Boyfriend’s Club. Not only that - but they’re dealing with a school administration that is trying to make them nonexistent.

Y’all - I’d been WAITING for this one. A YA book of queer people being themselves and figuring out how to make change? Revenge plot? Sassy friends? Sweet as pie romance? Supportive family?? Growth?? Flawed characters who apologize??!

This book was everything I want and more. Tell me why I messaged @matthewhubbard like he was my friend while reading because I was so blown away. This book is wonderful, and Matthew lets you into his brain, his experience, and shares a beautiful vulnerability with readers.

Glitter bomb: I relate to Ezra so much because I am that person. I’ve been that person, and my heart ached for him.

I cried twice reading this one. #Jazra!! So happy I preordered this one already. The copy will sit proudly on my shelf.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
