Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber

adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious tense fast-paced

4.25

emotional funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced

4.5

This book was an absolute delight and I couldn't stop grinning along and laughing with the characters. Brendon somehow manages to be an absolute golden retriever, a dork, and hot as hell at the same time, and Annie's sarcasm and humor perfectly match his. This series is just happy, goofy, quirky, fun wrapped up in both heartfelt sentiment and steamy af scenes and I couldn't love it more.

This book is like the chaotic queer lovechild of a John Green novel and all of your favorite coming of age movies from the past decade. Casey McQuiston knows just where to hit me to make me bawl my eyes out and snort-laugh every single page. I wish I had this book in high school, and I'm so glad there are other queer kids in the south who have it now and maybe will finally be able to see a piece of themselves on the page.
