#this is really different from khorram's darius books but i have to say i did quite like it! #quick and readable with a very realistic exploration of how gay celebrities especially young ones are treated #i do feel like 1) his bandmates could have gotten a bit more development #and 2) SPOILERS i was not as willing to forgive his ex… #but i think it did a good job of balancing the issues the main character faced with his own flaws #kiss and tell #adib khorram #lulu speaks #lulu reads #lulu reads kiss and tell #2023 reads #books
