Character development can really help a book let me tell you! Also this being LGBTQIA+, having a main character be POC, and being set in Hollywood, makes this even more appealing to me. I am super happy that I picked this up and randomly found it one day browsing LGBTQIA+ books. Is this book perfect? NO. But it does have so many important lessons like consent - CONSTANT CONSENT!!!! - and the reality of what it means in the world to be a WOC and how society still treats LGBTQIA+ people. So overall I say read this book but know that initially you may not like the main characters especially Josh who, let me tell you, I wanted to slap for a good majority of the time haha.
