Only Mostly Devastated: Sophie Gonzales

Product Information

Ollie never expected his summer fling with unbearably sweet Will to survive after vacation, but when his family decides to stay in North Carolina, he lets himself hope. Al inicio vislumbramos más similitudes con Grease, pero una vez la historia comienza a rodar, tiene vida y voz propia. Sophie Gonzalez se posicionó rápidamente como una de las autoras de las que quiero leer siempre, porque este trabajo, para ser su debut, me pareció extraordinario.

It's awful and Ollie can't stop thinking about it but on the bright side - at least he will see Will again. Ben has spent his first year of college working on his fantasy manuscript with his writing partner Mario, who is a great Spanish tutor, and an even better kisser. She graduated from the University of Adelaide and lives in Melbourne, Australia, where she currently works as a psychologist. Cada una de ellas es tan diferente pero todas aportan algo muy especial a la historia y los T-Birds (Darnell y Matt) siento que hicieron un buen trabajo mostrando la otra cara de la moneda. I’m firmly in camp Pierce Brosnan’s Singing Was Not That Bad and I hold a grudge against every critic who said it was because the lack of his singing in Mamma Mia!Sightseeing across England, whirlwind romance, and a journey to self-discovery and acceptance await you. In an effort to get a Harry-esque “hot British boyfriend,” Ellie makes a deal with her classmate Dev to learn how to win over her crush. So while I laughed and enjoyed the references because they were from my era, I think they would go over a teen’s head. Algo que me sorprendió para bien de este libro es que, aunque parezca, no es solamente un romancE más. The romance was really interesting to follow, just as well, with its confusing moments, misunderstandings and growth.

It was late afternoon, on the very last Wednesday of August, when I realized Disney had been lying to me for quite some time about Happily Ever Afters. Until a fake dating ploy gives them new perspective, and they realize that “falling for your enemy” isn’t as impossible as it seems. But I absolutely loved the different representations in this book, the closeted, the openly out and the confused. BookBrowse seeks out and recommends the best in contemporary fiction and nonfiction—books that not only engage and entertain but also deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. It was att, storming through the stream of students, closely followed by Darnell and a nervous-looking Will.

And then Ollie's parents drop the news that his Aunt's cancer has gotten worse and the whole family is moving to her house to take care of her. There’s quite a number of YA contemporaries where I haven’t jived with characters because I didn’t believe their toxic behavior was necessarily justified by their backstory ? It’s messy in a way that life (especially life of a teenager) is messy and totally not black-and-white. Y son temas que se hablan directamente, cara a cara, siendo totalmente transparentes el uno con el otro. Its only 272 pages (at least my ARC is) and moves very fast which I found quite enjoyable as it held my attention.

A queer YA romance that just got everything right at every turn was enough to break through the firm brick wall that has become my being and make all the feelings flood through.Heartfelt and charming, Only Mostly Devastated is a touching and delightful YA contemporary romance. Much like the band TLC I will fully admit I ain’t too proud to beg either and did everything in my power to acquire an early copy of this one. Only Mostly Devastated is full of POC characters, bi characters, gays, friendships, family love, happy moments, sad moments, sappy moments, cute af moments, moments that will make you want to tear your hair out in frustration, dramatic moments, and flawed characters but real and authentic ones.
