normally this doesn't really bother me, but with this book the balance between light/dark just felt.off. in example, at some point there's a pretty serious conversation and then there's a comparison with a chihuahua. when i started reading this book, i noticed it switches from very light-hearted to very, very dark in a matter of seconds. let's start with the more personal things though: There are a few things i just didn't like, but there are also lines and events i thought were straight up problematic. With a concept like this one, i never thought i would have to say this, but.may the best man win is perhaps the worst and most infuriating book i've ever read. To save Homecoming, they’ll have to face the hurt they’re both hiding-and the lingering butterflies they can’t deny. When both boys take their rivalry too far, the dance is on the verge of being canceled. But when Jeremy threatens to break his heart and steal his crown, Lukas kickstarts a plot to sabotage Jeremy’s campaign.

Lukas Rivers, football star and head of the Homecoming Committee, is just trying to find order in his life after his older brother’s funeral and the loss of his long-term girlfriend-who turned out to be a boy. Instead of bowing to the bigots and an outdated school administration, Jeremy decides to make some noise-and how better than by challenging his all-star ex-boyfriend Lukas for the title of Homecoming King? Jeremy Harkiss, cheer captain and student body president, won’t let coming out as a transgender boy ruin his senior year. A trans boy enters a throw-down battle for the title of Homecoming King with the boy he dumped last summer in ZR Ellor's contemporary YA debut.
