Title/Author: Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous - Mae Marvel
Genre(s): Literary Fiction, Rom-Com, LGBTQ+, Celebrity Culture
I was lucky to get an advance copy of this and I have to say: I loved this book! I loved this book so incredibly much!
It probably won't be for everyone. I mean, a romance about people communicating their needs in a healthy, productive manner? Who could imagine that. lol
This book was really unexpected. I love how many tropes this story didn't have. Don't get me wrong, tropes are tropes for a reason, they can be very loved (including by me), but they aren't going anywhere. And it's refreshing to have something different, even in the framing of a second chance/friends-to-lovers type story.
Our two leads Wil and Katie were wonderful. Tarnished, perhaps, but recognizing areas they sought comfort, and willing to grow. Everyone was wonderful, apart from the ones who weren't and were meant to be like that.
Moreso, this book does an exceptional job examining celebrity culture, both where it can be extremely toxic (as we often see reflected in the real world), but also the beauty and wonderfulness it can bring about.
Any issues I have are minor. Pick this up asap.
