How It All Blew Up was a fun and enlightening read that is told it multiple perspectives but mainly from our main character Amir. We follow Amir’s journey of struggling with being open about his sexuality, being blackmailed,
and how his family would react to his coming out. I liked Amir as a character, he was incredibly sweet but also incredibly naïve and at times made very stupid decisions. For instance—he went to Italy and got taken in by a group of older gay men. I don’t know about you, but this is super odd and not normal. Some parts of the story were a little unrealistic and sometimes in relatable, but I really appreciated the author’s attempts at making this coming out story different and unique.
