so, if you have followed any of my reviews for any amount of time, you know that adam sass is one of those authors who hits me right in my too-soft, too-big heart. and grant’s story? ouch.

like micah summers, this story takes a classic fairy tale and gives it a queer twist. i was obsessed with the idea of following someone who was collateral damage in someone else’s happily ever after, and oh boy, was grant damaged. sweet, sweet grant.

i loved the way grant’s depression was written because it is just so incredibly relatable. there’s nothing like being heartbroken and depressed and away from family and friends, and grant reacts the same way i think i would-spiraling and hiding in my room while avoiding everyone about it. his family dynamics were also everything to me-family is often a queer kid’s first bully and seeing grant realize that and stand up to them both for himself (and for any smaller family members that may have needed to see it) really choked me up. also, a big, loud-ass, Italian family is so fun to read. the relationships between grant and his siblings were some of my favorites and just really healed my heart.

also, ben? an angel. a doll. never done one single thing wrong in his whole cute little scottish life.

cursed boys and broken hearts is heartfelt, healing, and full of a messy, real-life queer fairy tale. another adam sass story i will be peddling on everyone i meet. it publishes july 16th!
