One of the elements that removes drama-free from this equation is the fact that the tens in question are in a rock band that is paparazzi clickbait, combined with an absolutely unstable ex-girlfriend, actively alcoholic, narcissistic parents, and a little of that addictive gene passed down to our dear, darling, lead singer, Emmy. ![]() (No, offense, I totally love you, Simon!

Basically, the story makes it clear, in no uncertain terms, that being queer is not a get-out-of-drama free card which is kind of a breath of fresh air when it comes to the usually squeaky clean gay-kid romances on the shelves, right now. The Brightsiders is not just about sexuality (though that plays a huge part, as does gender identity) but it is about relationships, how screwed up they can be, regardless of gender or orientation.

That was maybe the cutest book I have ever read. ![]()
