What a great book! After seeing this book being compared to Silvera’s and Abertalli’s work, I was hesitant to jump in, but I was not disappointed. How It All Blew Up exceeded the hype and my expectations. It has such strong character developments and the author did a beautiful job with pacing and flow. It’s truly a great coming of age story full of the highs and lows of growing up. I cannot recommend it’s enough! I am looking forward to checking out his future work as I was not disappointed.
