“And if the answer is yes, will you be my boyfriend?”
My heart flutters in my rib cage. “Yes to both, but especially the pancakes.”

pickI didn't expect to enjoy this one as much as I did, much less have it take me back to High School and give me all sorts of emotions like this did.
The overall story was fun! It was so much fun to read about a high school prom, the ups and downs of that age, the changes in relationships, the growing apart and yet forming new relationships, the borderline of being a kid and yet learning to grow still.

An entertaining enough read. I just read Carrie in October so this suffered a little in comparison. It was fine and it kept me engaged. I‘ve probably been generous with my stars as I had a few nitpicks. I‘m glad I borrowed this from the library instead of buying.
I'm posting the #BookScavengerHunt prompts in order & today is 'Blood'.
Oops I missed yesterday's prompt so there will be two posts today. This seems to be a YA retelling of 'Carrie' & the MC is biracial giving it an additional angle.

pickLiked it, but not loved it. Maybe because the whole Prom Night Date isn't a thing in Switzerland (or at least wasn't when I went to school), so I couldn't really get the hype about it. But Liz is a great character and Leah Johnson wrote her really good. High potential of identification for younger readers. The message this book sends is great and so, so important! Loved the ending.
Waylon Russell Brewer is a fat, openly gay boy stuck in the small West Texas town of Clover City. His plan is to bide his time until he can graduate, move to Austin with his twin sister, Clementine, and finally go Full Waylon, so that he can live his Julie-the-hills-are-alive-with-the-sound-of-music-Andrews truth.

pickThis was a powerful story about staying true to yourself & finding friends who support you even when things get tough. It's very YA - I took a few week break after 75% because the angst was high lol. But overall it was a worthwhile read that really digs into the discrimination young queer people of color face among their peers & within their families. It definitely has a Breakfast Club vibe, with an unlikely group of students gathering together.
