I’m not sure I’m the target audience for a young adult book about a Canadian both band, but I did enjoy the story and I’m glad I found it. I did struggle through the cliche boy band esque things (like the 17 year old gay member who bragged about his great “hockey butt” about a million times), but underneath that were some really good themes about finding yourself and what it is to be queer or a person of color. I thought the main character Hunter was like able, but I struggled to be even as forgiving as he was. I did like the backstage look at the reactions to the trending gossip columns and I liked the mixed media that was included to help tell the story. It was hard to read about Hunter’s struggle with The Label wanting him to be more of their version of what kind of gay he was and I was glad to see his character developed as the story went on. Overall I gave this a 3.5 but I rounded up for excellent representation.
