This Is Kind of an Epic Love Story by Kacen Callender
4.0
I'm not sure how Balzer + Bray operates, but what ever they're doing over there I hope it continues for eternity. I've never had a publisher release so many of my favorite books, but they've done it again with This is Kind of an Epic Love story.
The plot goes like this: Nate is just getting out of a relationship with his best friend Florance. The two are trying to find the middle of friendship and ex-partners which becomes extremely sticky once you learn how and why the couple broke up. Then we meet Oliver James Hernandez. Ollie is a family friend/ once-upon-a-crush of Nate's. He is the most adorable character of this book (and there's a lot of cuteness). Oliver has to work through a frustrating family dynamic, and figure out his long distance relationship while his friendship with Nate rekindles.
I feel like I could talk forever about why everyone should read this book, but because I shouldn't write a five paged essay right now, know this. This story is about two imperfectly perfect brown boys, its about grief, rejection, and learning ones worth. It's about the past and how we cant let it ruin our future. It is an epic kind of love story, a story everyone should experience.
I encourage everyone to read this book when it comes out. Buy it, borrow it, request it from the library, do what ever you have to do in order to not miss this one when it makes it's way to the shelves. I'm already counting the days until I can own my own physical copy.
