Review:

This book had too much drama. He kissed another guy while he was dating someone else. Like why do book characters make such bad decisions? I think this book was just too problematic for my tastes. I sort of liked the characters, but Joni was such a toxic guy. Overall not my favorite, and I don’t think I would read another of this author’s books.

Trigger Warnings:
Queermisia, Homomisia & homomisic slurs, Coming out themes, Cheating, Bullying

Synopsis From Book:

This is the story of Paul, a sophomore at a high school like no other: The cheerleaders ride Harleys, the homecoming queen used to be a guy named Daryl (she now prefers Infinite Darlene and is also the star quarterback), and the gay-straight alliance was formed to help the straight kids learn how to dance. When Paul meets Noah, he thinks he’s found the one his heart is made for. Until he blows it. The school bookie says the odds are 12-to-1 against him getting Noah back, but Paul’s not giving up without playing his love really loud. His best friend Joni might be drifting away, his other best friend Tony might be dealing with ultra-religious parents, and his ex-boyfriend Kyle might not be going away anytime soon, but sometimes everything needs to fall apart before it can really fit together right. This is a happy-meaningful romantic comedy about finding love, losing love, and doing what it takes to get love back in a crazy-wonderful world.
