Date Me, Bryson Keller by Kevin van Whye
5.0
Date Me, Bryson Keller by Kevin van Whye ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I cannot tell you how much I loved loved LOVED this book! It was everything I was hoping for and more. Not only do you get a whirlwind teen romance but the story also touches on other deep topics such as religion, race and personal acceptance. The book itself was written in such a way that I felt truly connected with the characters and invested in them and their lives.
Even though the main bulk of the story takes place over just one week, it still felt like enough time to get to know the characters and for their relationship and the story to build.
The first half of the book is so happy and fun with tons of sweet moments that you will feel to your core. Every subtle look, small touch and hand hold is something new and exciting and feels like a big deal.
In the second half of the story things get a little more angsty surrounding their relationship and issues with family and friends. I tend to enjoy lower angst books, however, I really enjoyed feeling the emotions in this story even though it felt like more of a medium angst read for me.
My only wish for this book is that we had even more of the story, especially towards the end. I want to know what happens the next week and the week after that. Does Kai get to write the school play? What happens when they both go to college? I need more of their amazing story!
There are certain books that you read and they just stick with you and Date Me, Bryson Keller is one of those books for me. I can already tell that this book will definitely become one of my go to comfort reads! ☺️
Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
