6/11/2023 0 Comments Only mostly devastated characters![]() Thus begins a will-they-won’t-they romance, complete with a supporting cast of friends: Ollie’s friends Juliette, Lara, and Niamh all wear matching rose-gold necklaces, clearly evocative of the Pink Ladies, and Will’s basketball buddies are never seen without their black and white letterman jackets, an homage to the T-Birds. Ollie then ends up going to school with Will, who is acting much different than the caring, sweet guy Ollie met over the summer. Ollie expected to move back to California at the end of the summer, but because his aunt Linda has cancer, his family decided to stay and support her and her family. Ollie, the book’s narrator, had a summer fling with Will in North Carolina. Billed as a queer retelling of Grease, I don’t think you really need to be a fan of the musical or movie to enjoy the book. Sophie Gonzales’s 2020 novel Only Mostly Devastated has become one of my favorite YA books that I read this summer. ![]()
