Resumen del Editor

From National Book Award winner Kacen Callender, a contemporary YA that follows Lark's journey to speak the truth and discover how their own self-love can be a revolution.

Lark Winters wants to be a writer, and for now that means posting on their social media accounts–anything to build their platform. When former best friend Kasim accidentally posts a thread on Lark's Twitter declaring his love for a secret, unrequited crush, Lark's tweets are suddenly the talk of the school—and beyond. To protect Kasim, Lark decides to take the fall, pretending they accidentally posted the thread in reference to another classmate. It seems like a great idea: Lark gets closer to their crush, Kasim keeps his privacy, and Lark's social media stats explode. But living a lie takes a toll—as does the judgment of thousands of internet strangers. Lark tries their best to be perfect at all costs, but nothing seems good enough for the anonymous hordes–or for Kasim, who is growing closer to Lark, just like it used to be between them....

In the end, Lark must embrace their right to their messy emotions and learn how to be in love.

Masterful narration, original story

I'm likely not the intended audience for this book, but I connected with much of it: journey of self-love, toxicity of social media, authorship (not only of books but of your life). I enjoyed the original, authentic romance aspect of it as well (my first exp with two black trans folks in love and also polyamory which felt very organic and believable and loving). Thanks to the narrator who did a masterful job; you really brought this book to life beautifully and inspired me to write my first Audible review in 3+ years.
