I also absolutely loved the trans actor Fin that Mack befriended through his father movie and Fin’s friends Cleo and Ross.
I enjoyed seeing Mack and his father getting better contact and processing their grief over Mack’s mother’s dead together. I was also really disappointed in the way Mack neglected and mistreated his old friends, Sim and Femi, and his new friend Maz, when spending all his time and energy on K.īut the second half of the novel was slightly better (apart from the emotional cheating). But on the other hand, I also hated the way Mack tried to force K to come out and how he tried to emotionally blackmail K all the time. In fact, I hated the way K treated Mack like a door mat, and I could never even understand what they had in common or why they would even like each other. But sadly, Mack was such an unlikeable character and the relationship with K felt too toxic right from the start to make me invested in it. This book had such a great representation and diversity a black gay main character, a trans boy as the second love interest as well as several bisexual characters etc, and amazing side characters like Mack’s friends Maz, Sim and Femi and Fin’s friends.
And when he finds out that K returns his feelings, he’s the happiest he’s ever been. The only fly in the ointment is that K isn’t out and want to hide their relationship, especially from his team mates. When he ends up next to K’s cousin Maz in class and they start hanging out, he can’t believe his luck. Mack has had a crush on basketball star Karim (K) in his high school for as long as he can remember. The story follows Mack, who lost his mother at a young age and is now living alone with his dad, a famous movie director who spend most his time away on work.
