This Is Kind of an Epic Love Story
Kacen Callender
~Lambda Literary Award finalist for the best LGBT YA novel of 2018~ A fresh, charming rom-com perfect for fans of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and Boy Meets Boy about Nathan Bird, who has sworn off happy endings but is sorely tested when his former best friend, Ollie, moves back to town. Nathan Bird doesn’t believe in happy endings. Although he’s the ultimate film buff and an aspiring screenwriter, Nate’s seen the demise of too many relationships to believe that happy endings exist in real life. Playing it safe to avoid a broken heart has been his MO ever since his father died and left his mom to unravel—but this strategy is not without fault. His best-friend-turned-girlfriend-turned-best-friend-again, Florence, is set on making sure Nate finds someone else. And in a twist that is rom-com-worthy, someone does come Oliver James Hernández, his childhood best friend. After a painful mix-up when they were little, Nate finally has the chance to tell Ollie the truth about his feelings. But can Nate find the courage to pursue his own happily ever after?

0this book would be infinitely better if oliver james hernández was the protagonist instead of nathan bird...
honestly everyone in this book was either annoying and/or underdeveloped and the fact that ollie gave nate multiple chances after nate treated him so poorly throughout the book was just so baffling that having the pov from his side would have just made more sense.
nate never seemed to know what he wanted, which i guess is true of a lot of 16 year olds but nothing about his character was compelling and i spent the entire book just thinking “why do i care?” short answer: i didn’t
0The side characters were SO childish
