And if he has so many followers, why couldn’t he just actually take submissions and make the blog real. Like of course you would get called out for that being fake, no one would believe that in the first place. But he sets all the stories in his hometown, Miami, and all the stories are about mlm ftm teens. The premise is the blog is a place to publish submissions from anons, but of course Noah makes them all up. Sorry but the meet cute blog sounds so unrealistic, and I just couldn’t suspend my disbelief enough to go along with this plot.

He’s just a terrible main character, and at least from what I read he has no growth or self awareness. A poor coworker throws up on him, and instead of being concerned like a kind normal person, he gets mad and is an asshole to them for several scenes. And he expresses 0 empathy toward anyone. Like really? He spent $400 of his parents money and was mad they cut him off? And mad he’s expected to get a job if he wants money? And he expects everyone to be there for him and give him everything. Ive been posting about this book for months on my insta. And the cover? It’s gorgeous and so cute. I am a gay trans man, who is perpetually single and yearning for love, so I was so excited for this book. Ive never been so disappointed in a book before. In this charming novel by Emery Lee, Noah will have to choose between following his own rules for love or discovering that the most romantic endings are the ones that go off script. But when Noah’s feelings grow beyond their staged romance, he realizes that dating in real life isn’t quite the same as finding love on the page.

Then Drew walks into Noah’s life, and the pieces fall into place: Drew is willing to fake-date Noah to save the Diary. The only way to save the Diary is to convince everyone that the stories are true, but he doesn’t have any proof. When a troll exposes the blog as fiction, Noah’s world unravels. What started as the fantasies of a trans boy afraid to step out of the closet has grown into a beacon of hope for trans readers across the globe. There’s just one problem-all the stories are fake. He has to be for his popular blog, the Meet Cute Diary, a collection of trans happily ever afters. Noah Ramirez thinks he’s an expert on romance.

Felix Ever After meets Becky Albertalli in this swoon-worthy, heartfelt rom-com about how a transgender teen’s first love challenges his ideas about perfect relationships.
