Now, you guys know that normally I’m all about LGBT books. I love them! I think that they’re great! But...I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump, in case you hadn’t noticed, and I really needed some brand new books to pull me out of it. I was hoping that this book would be one of them, but I thought that the plot was all over the place, the writing was ehh, and the characters were just not that compelling. Yes, I enjoyed the drag, but I almost wanted more. It felt like the authors was just trying to cram as much drama into the book as possible, and at times, it really felt like a fanfiction, especially during the “big” plot twist (which I saw coming from a mile away). Honestly, this wasn’t the worst book I’ve ever read, but it wasn’t the best. It’s probably gonna sit there on my Read shelf, sad and alone, and I’m gonna forget about it. On to the next book I guess. I need to go to the library. And hey, who knows, maybe this is one of those books that gets better with every read?
