![]() ![]() I think one of the reasons why it was kind of hard for me to get into this book at first was Emmy’s personality. This book focuses on Emmy as she struggles with being a rock-star and a role-model for many teens, handling the paparazzi and not-so-good headlines, not a very healthy relationship and also awful parents. This book is amazingly diverse, Emmy (our protagonist) is bisexual, Alfie (the love interest) is pansexual, genderqueer and suffers from social anxiety, Ryan (their bandmate) is also bisexual and Korean-American and Emmy’s best friend, Chloe is black and non-binary (uses they/them pronouns). I had some issues getting into this, but I slowly got to love all the characters and root for them to be happy. The Brightsiders marks my second buddy-read with the amazing Marie and Hurricane Books and it was a lovely experience as always. ![]() ![]() Thanks to Macmillan International for sending me a review copy of The Brightsiders, this hadn’t influenced my review or rating in any way. ![]()
