Book Review for Straight Expectations by Callum McSwiggan

Synopsis;


The brilliant debut novel from author, presenter and LGBTQ+ advocate Calum McSwiggan!

Seventeen-year-old Max has always been out, proud and just a little spoiled. Frustrated by the lack of romantic options in his small-town high school, during an argument with his lifelong best friend Dean, Max lashes out and says he wishes he had never been born gay.

Max gets more than he bargained for when he wakes up to find his wish has come true – not only have his feelings for boys vanished, but so has Dean.

With his school life turned upside down and his relationship with his family in tatters, Max sets out on a journey of rediscovery to find a way back to the life he took for granted, and the romance he thought he’d never have.

A deliciously romantic YA debut that’s What If It’s Us and One Last Stop!

My Review;

Wow what a book, I just adored everything about it and really felt for Max when his wish came true my heart literally broke for him. I just couldn’t put this down and would have happily continued reading the story, there isn’t a character I didn’t like and it definitely gave me freaky Friday vibes.
