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 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.

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?

This is so good omg. makes me want to scream “Fuck Simon Cowell” at the top of my lungs but this book is totally not inspired by that man and a certain boyband he may or may not have formed on the XFactor on July 23rd, 2010...
Alexa play One Direction
Prereview:
I may or may not have a tattoo that may or may not reference two songs that people may or may not associate with a certain conspiracy theory about a popular boyband and two of it's members that may or may not be the first thing people think of when they read the synopsis of this book
but anyways I am 100% the target audience for this book so I need it asap please and thank you
but I got the tattoos because I like those songs, not because of other reasons implied
For me, the focus on the boyband romance isn't even the main thing. I am literally appalled at how the band members were treated on tour. It's made me more certain that being famous isn't everything. I could feel the mental pressure that each band member experienced.
Enjoyable read **
I don't know if this book was based off of One Direction/Larry fanfiction but I think it has too many similarities to not be somewhat based on them. Two members of a boyband begin a relationship with each other but their management team forces them to keep their sexualities and relationship a secret?? Yeah.
The romance was not the greatest. The main characters were very one-dimensional. I often couldn't tell who's chapter I was reading. Just kind of blah overall. The side characters were more interesting.
[MY RATING] 5/10
DID NOT FINISH AT 62%
- i wanted a fun, quick, BL story to read and this sounded like fun! however, the more i read it, the more i felt like this was more of a fanfiction of one direction for some reason rather than an actual gay story.
- it was nice but the more i read it the more i decided that i disliked how the romances and the story was progressing.. it started to get draggy and boring and overall i would recommend this only people who loved shipping one direction together LMAO
