How it All Blew Up is an LGBTQ+ coming of age novel about one boys journey with accepting who he is and his family accepting who he is. Thank you so much bookishfirst and penguinteen for this early copy to review!
I’m giving this book 4/5 stars. I really enjoyed it. A secondary favorite!
Our main character Amir is a gay Iranian Muslim who’s parents have frowned on gays his entire life. He was a great main character, and I loved seeing his transformation throughout this book into accepting himself.
Jahan and Neil were phenomenal secondary characters, the setting in Rome was beautiful. The jokes hit, the emotional parts tugged at you. Soraya is everyone’s dream little sitting.
I highly recommend this book to fans of contemporary romance and LGBTQ+ allies!
