Meet Cute Diary is a new YA LGBTQ+ contemporary romance by Emery Lee. Just thinking about the amount of representation in this book makes me heart happy.
The lead Noah Ramirez is triracial ( white, Japanese, and Afro-Caribean), he's also trans and bisexual. Noah's best friends is a lesbian and there is a character who is gender-nonconforming who settles on using the e/em pronouns. I love that the book will be broadening readers knowledge of pronouns because I know it did mine. The book also mentions tough topics such as depression, suicide, and high anxiety.
I kind of skipped over what the actual book is about, but I think the synopsis is prefect so if you haven't by chance read it scroll up and do that lol Anyways I loved the idea of Noah's blog, the Meet Cute Diary, where it's sole purpose was to give trans kids like himself hope of finding love. Thanks to internet trolls who are the worst he ends up scrambling to keep it going. That's when the fake dating trope with a boy who inspired one of Noah's meet cute posts begins. I don't want to write spoilers, so I'm going to stop there but let's just say it doesn't turn out like your typical fake dating scenarios.
I really enjoyed Noah, but he's not without his faults and annoyances. He is a bit overdramatic and a bit self-centered, but I mean this is a YA book and what 16-year-old doesn't think the world revolves around them. Thankfully he eventually acknowledges and works to fix his faults, especially when it comes to his friendships. I loved his brother Brian, he was so supportive of Noah's transition and was always ready to jump to his defense. I also love the gender non-conforming character, I don't want to say eir name because e is not mentioned in the synopsis but I loved em. E was adorably awkward, so sweet with eir love of art and the camp kids, and my heart broke every time e had an anxiety attack. The book emphasizes the importance of not letting others affect your pronoun decision. It's up to no one but you to decide what pronouns fit you and once you choose it doesn't mean that can't change if they don't feel right.
In the end, Meet Cute Diary by Emery Lee is a must-read with a great cast of characters and a story that keeps you invested. Like the blurb for the book says if you're a fan of Felix Ever After you're really going to enjoy this book. It's one I will be preordering, so I can add it to my shelf when it releases and one I'll be recommending often.

Noah is a loveable #transmc
I loved this audiobook! Noah is a loveable #transmc whose blog The Meet Cute Diary is haunted by a troll out to disprove Noah's theory that trans kids can find love. Fake dating Drew must be the fix, right? ❤️ @loganrozos is the best narrator for @emeryleebooks4 starsVery little heat (but in the sweetest, happiest, best way!)
