Trigger warnings for Date Me Bryson Keller include: racism, homophobia, coming out themes; outing & public outing; blackmail, car accident and bullying. ☆ ☆ This is one of those books where I haven't stopped thinking about it since I finished it and put it down. And it's also a book where I wish I could have the experience of reading it again like it was the first time. ~ There were a few times throughout this reading experience where either the vibes or the actual words made me feel like crying, or it actually made me cry. ~ Bryson Keller is the most wholesome person ever. Kai Sherringham blushes so damn much it's not even funny. ~ All of that being said, I did really enjoy it. However, I was also unaware of the issues with this book and its author and where the inspiration for this book came from until I read some of the reviews on it. And while I don't agree with authors stealing works from other authors, and I don't have the full information of the exact situation, the fact remains that I did enjoy the story. * * #bookwormproblems #bookchallenge #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks #readerslife #booksaremagic #bookstagrammer #readersofinstagram #bestbooks #bookaholic #readmorebooks #bookstagramfeature #bookaccount #readinglife #bookishlife #bookblogger #booklover #bookstagrammers #bookstagramuk #lgbt #queerread #youngadult #lgbt #romance #fiction #contemporary #datemebrysonkeller #kevinvanwhyte #blues2024reads
How are your #pridemonth reads going? I keep adding more to the list, so once again mine will be extended. I tried to do a Pride stripe behind my lego, but it was really hard to find the right colour and size so it got a bit out of whack. But actual lgbtqia+ books in here are: This Winter Nate Plus One Nick and Charlie A Song Only I Can Hear Birthday Black Flamingo - - - - #pridelego #readwithpride #pridemonth2022 #queerbooks #queerbookstagram #booksofinstagram #rainbowbooks #rainbowreads #thiswinter #nickandcharlie #aliceoseman #nateplusone #kevinvanwhyte #lifeofriley #simonjamesgreen #asongonlyicanhear #barryjonsberg #birthday #meridithrusso #blackflamingo #deanatta #rainbowspines #pridebooks #prideflag
Nothing brings me as much joy as buying new books, whether they are for me or someone else. Can’t wait to surprise my kid when they get home from school today with Date Me, Bryson Keller and Echos and Empires. That 3rd one is all mine. #kevinvanwhyte #richardpowersauthor #morganrhodesbooks #riverstonebooks
