I love Adam Sass so much. This is now my third book by this author and I love how rich and detailed his world-building is. On top of that, he has a gift for writing authentic queer voices that feel like they’re speaking directly from my heart. I was hesitant to read Adam’s second novel because I’m not really into romantic novels, and the fact it was YA made me feel even more adverse but I needed a lighter read to cap off June and kick-off July and I’m so glad I went with The 99 Boyfriends of Micah Summers.

This novel was way out of my comfort zone but I absolutely adored it. Reading this novel was therapeutic for my 15yr old, closeted repressed self. I had so many sad, lonely and sleepless nights back then wishing I knew if there were other people out there like me. If books like this had existed when I was that age, my God would my adolescence have been different. I’m so jealous of all the LGBTQIA+ teens out there who get to read this novel and know that there’s a world out there just waiting to be discovered by them. 

This story brought me instant joy and I’m so grateful I read it. Absolutely pumped and ready for Adam’s follow up, CURSED BOYS AND LONELY HEARTS, which is only a few weeks away from release.
