This Is Kind of an Epic Love Story by Kacen Callender

lighthearted fast-paced

2.5

This is my third book by Kacen Callender and I definitely prefer their middle grade stuff to their YA. I liked Felix Ever After more than this though, unfortunately this was just too much teenage drama for the sake of drama. Characters go from berating other characters for cheating, to cheating themselves within 50 pages. Nate flits from being in love with Flo to being in love with Oliver James in about three seconds flat. Also, if you cannot even say the words relating to sex out loud, you’re not ready to have sex. Oh boy.

As always, though, love the casual queer rep and also the deaf rep in this book. Also liked Nate’s mam, and their backstory - both of them find themselves hesitant to dive into relationships because of losing their dad/husband young. But most things, the grief included, felt a tad rushed. 

Not bad, just not really for me!
