Love the characters, love the story, and love plot. I never thought that book about Mormons, gay love, and writing a book will be good... But it is. It's cute, funny, and sometimes sad. It heart breaking that even now people can be themself fully without fear that family, friends or even their one religion will not abandon them. I love this book and wish that have maybe a small special.

I really enjoyed this book but I feel like a version of this story being told from Sebastian’s perspective would have been more impactful, Tanner as a protagonist got under my skin sometimes. However I do understand that Tanner’s perspective is more lighthearted than what Sebastian’s would have been and that this makes his perspective more palatable to a wider group of people.

I've been meaning to read this one for a while and to be honest, I am pretty disappointed although my 14/15 year old self would've probably enjoyed "Autoboyography" way more. The main character was not that interesting and likeable to me and I didn't think that he and his love interest Sebastian had real chemistry. It was very much insta-love and then too many obstacles for my liking. Obviously I get why it was difficult for them to get together and the parts about religion were somewhat interesting but I felt like many things were just dragged endlessly in order to fill pages. Did I hate this book? No. But it also wasn't anything profoundly good and not even that entertaining. Also, I hated how they developed his friendship with his best friend Autumn because it very much fitted all the stereotypes we hear about bisexual people all the time. And how dumb can you actually be to write a book in a seminar about you and your crush by using your actual names? Wasn't the main character supposed to be smart? And I quickly also want to stress that the book was written by two straight authors and I feel like one could lowkey tell which is why I normally tend to rather read queer authors. Anyways, wouldn't really recommend this book but it wasn't terrible either.
