If This Gets Out

A NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

Sophie Gonzales and Cale Dietrich's “If This Gets Out is an absolute showstopper! Equal parts edgy and adorable, this bright, joyful book has everything I look for in a queer YA romance.” —Phil Stamper, bestselling author of The Gravity of Us

You’re in the most popular boy band in America…and all you want is the boy singing next to you.

Eighteen-year-olds Ruben Montez and Zach Knight are two members of the boy-band Saturday, one of the biggest acts in America. Along with their bandmates, Angel Phan and Jon Braxton, the four are teen heartthrobs in front of the cameras and best friends backstage.

But privately, the pressure to stay in the closet has Ruben confiding in Zach.

On a whirlwind tour through Europe with an unrelenting schedule and minimal supervision, the two come to rely on each other more and more, and their already close friendship evolves into a romance. But when they decide they’re ready to tell their fans and live freely, Zach and Ruben realize they will never truly have the support they need.

How can they hold tight to each other when their whole world is coming apart?

So we’re all gonna pretend this didn’t remind us of a specific band? Because I've seen this before, especially the management of a big band being oppressive, if you know what I mean. It’s definitely a sweet romance with a good amount of angst, that I would recommend to romance readers. There were many cringe-worthy moments sprinkled in throughout the story though. I didn’t fell in love with the characters but the plot was intriguing enough. This is somewhere between a 3 and a 4⭐️ read…still can’t decide which one. It was definitely never boring and so well written that I read through the whole book in one sitting, but it still just wasn’t really for me.

I really enjoyed this book. I have been in the mood for contemporary romance and this one didn't disappoint. I grew up in the age of boy bands so reading this was a lot of fun for me. I liked that each character had their own voice and dealt with their own struggles. The story touched on a lot of important themes related to sexuality, identity, religion, and drug addiction but it didn't feel dark in anyway. The storyline was well developed and blended each of these themes together very well. If I didn't know it was a co-authored book I would never have guessed because the story flowed so well together. I picked up the audiobook via the library and I would definitely recommend it to those who enjoy audiobook formats. The narration was well done.

I definitely recommend this one!
