Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin Teen for an arc of this one.

Hunter is the only queer person in his boyband, and he is feeling the effects. After a messy breakup with his ex of 2 years--also a bandmate's twin brother--Hunter's sexts get leaked and his public persona is entirely changed. Hunter has to change everything about who he is for the public to keep the label and the fans happy, but he has had enough.

This book had my entire heart for....almost all of it. I was so immersed and reading this so fast because I loved it so much. Hunter is a great character and I loved watching him grow. A lot of his struggles made me so frustrated because of the way queer people are always treated. But it was all really important stuff.

I also really enjoyed the focus on having queer friends and how different it is when you are with cishet people all the time. I felt that!

The only thing that really frustrated me with this book is that I felt like nothing was resolve regarding the slut-shaming that Hunter went through. There was a little about it but...apologies needed to be made, and they weren't, and I felt like frustrations were redirected and then it was just swept under the rug instead of really been taken account for. So that sucked.

But I loved the rest of it.
