Review of 'How Not to Ask a Boy to Prom' on 'Goodreads'

YA romance, queer romance, and fake relationships are all things I'll eat up with a giant spoon, so it's no surprise to anyone that I enjoyed this. Major, major points for an out bisexual dude character (there are so few). I loved all the major characters but I did experience a weird phenomenon where I couldn't remember any of the minor characters, either because they were forgettable or just so briefly in the book. I kept finding myself staring at a name I didn't remember and having to flip back pages to try to remember who Tamara or Zamir or Arlo was. Eventually I just gave up and accepted that it probably didn't matter that much to the overall plot. A fun, light read; the perfect antidote for days when the darkness of the world threatens to swallow you whole.
