Thank you to NetGalley and Black & White Publishing for providing an arc of this book for review.

Overemotional was a light-hearted, fun read. The interactions between Steven and Troy were really cute and endearing. Troy is just a really cute character in general. I did however find the logs difficult to follow. The social media references threw me off a bit as well. It is a YA story, though, so I'm sure that will appeal to younger teenagers and is more of a personal peeve of mine. I also found the jumps between all four POV's a little confusing and hard to follow at points. In saying that I still enjoyed this, it was fast paced and funny even if it wasn't anything groundbreaking. This would be perfect for younger teenagers looking for superpowers and LGBTQ+ representation

Warning: their will be spoilers

This was an absolute joy to read although having 4 plus points of view in one book was a struggle and confusing as hell but it did help with the development of some of the characters like Marcus and the agents.
The data logs were a struggle to get through, they definitely could have used a bit of a cutting down to make them shorter
Stevie and Troy were an absolute joy to read and having them end up together was a very sweet ending

I loved all of the the queer representation of this book! Overall this one wasn’t really for me though

Steven has magic that is extremely dangerous... to the point where after he kissed a boy said boy’s head literally exploded. Steven’s magic is related to his emotions, whenever he feels a strong emotions things get dangerous. He’s been trying to keep his magic a secret and trying his hardest not to feel too much but with a determined best friend who won’t stop asking questions, things are about to get tricky. Especially when a dangerous organization begins asking questions about him and Freya and her boyfriend Marcus and his friend Troy also join in. They have to find a way to discover what the organization wants with Steven and how to help him. Steven meets a handsome stranger who claims that he shares the same magic as Steven and that he could help Steven control them. Can Freya and co help Steven and can Steven trust the cute stranger he meet in a cafe bathroom? This was a multi POV story featuring magic, friendship, and more. Unfortunately this one just didn’t work for me and I think it might be one of those “its me not you” scenarios. The writing style really wasn’t for me and I found the overall story hard to invest in. So while this wasn’t for me if you like queer magic stories then definitely give it a go maybe you’ll have a better time with it than I did.

*Thanks Netgalley and Black & White Publishing, Ink Road for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

Thank you to NetGalley and Black & White Publishing for approving my request to read an arc of this book.

The premise of this book sounded interesting and had a lot of science fiction elements that I enjoy so I was excited to start it. Unfortunately I ended up dnfing as I didn’t feel this book was for me in the end. I didn’t get on with the writing style and found the characters to be very judgemental which was off putting to me. While these are just my personal opinions, I think others would enjoy it, as what I did read wasn’t triggering beyond the use of the ableist C word being used to describe a type of loneliness.
