A review by csrcalloway
Pretty Dudes: The Novel (Pretty Dudes, #1) by C.S.R. Calloway

emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
I wrote this, so I won't provide a star rating. The novel is based on the award-winning digital series of the same name and has all the great stuff from the show, plus new and exciting scenes, storylines, and moments.

☕️ a unique chosen family

🦄 thoughtful conversations about marginalization and intersectionality
💍 an accidental proposal
🏨 rooftop LA clubs with pools
🦚 a pretty privilege deconstruction
💪🏾 one protective older brother
🃏 a life-changing game of truth or dare

Zario, Ellington, Jay, Alexander, Sunji, and Eagle are all waiting for you inside. Grab an empty teacup (shot glasses aren't allowed after an unspoken incident) and let them pour you a shot of escape. To the brim.
