While the beginning and end were well written, the middle seemed to drag on almost as if the authors needed to fill in to make this book 400+ pages. I honestly think this book could have been 100/150 pages less but still be just as good if not better. I’m glad this book acknowledged a lot of what I’m sure goes on in the music scene and the  fear of not being accepted. I do think we didn’t get a fair amount of character development of all the boys of Saturday. Lowkey was confused as to why the only Asian character was the one that turned to drugs / went to rehab. The gay, bi and diverse rep was nice to read about but could have been better in execution.
