This book is a super quick read, but it is so fun. I mean this in the best way possible - it reads like a ban au fan fiction. It deals with some heavier topics, like anxiety, difficult parental relationships, and drug addiction, but the book manages to keep its tone and story fairly light, while not being flippant. If This Gets Out is a super fun rom-com, and I highly recommend it. 

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the early review copy.
