Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry: The hilarious and heartfelt YA romcom

Product Information

Note, this was intended to be a spoiler free review so if there’s anything you feel is a spoiler please let me know and I’ll take it out right away. Thank you so much! As for the romance it was heartwarming and I loved it. There's definitely more than kissing going on though, like this one scene that I won't spoil but it's nice for the upper YA crowd since Quinn is 18. The subject of race and racism is handled particularly well in the story. It is never preachy but betrayed very realistically. Gave me a lot to think about. I've come to realize, that the more unrealistic, over the top, and basically all over the place a rom com is, the better chance there is of me loving it. See, when you first start a book such as this one you already know what's gonna happen. The plot is obvious, the romance is slightly predictable, you basically guess every twist. Overall you're not expecting much. However, you probably end up reading said book, and falling endlessly in love with it. Why? Well, because to be honest, we are all trash for romance. And that comes from a girl who abhors useless romance where it's not needed, or tolerable.

Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry by Joya Goffney | Waterstones

Starting with the things I liked and then bombarding everyone with unwanted opinions of things I didn't in fact appreciate. Quinn keeps lists of everything—from the days she’s ugly cried, to “Things That I Would Never Admit Out Loud,” to all the boys she’d like to kiss. Her lists keep her sane. By writing her fears on paper, she never has to face them in real life. That is, until her journal goes missing…

I fell in love with the world, the story and the characters. OH HOW I LOVE THE CHARACTERS! They're perfect. But not perfect-perfect, they have imperfections of course, I mean they're so easy to love.

Excuse me while I gush about how much I love this book. Also, the covers for this book are absolutely gorgeous. Talking about book covers has apparently become my thing now.

The characters in here were so loveable. I’m literally obsessed with the friendship group in here. It was full of such wholesome interactions and I really just enjoyed how their different personalities bounced off one another so well. I loved seeing genuine female friendships and people being forced to apologise for their wrongdoings, moving forward in a positive and healthy way. These girls have my entire heart. The romance as well was just absolutely beautiful. The tension, the build-up, the chemistry… it just worked. There were so many moments of pure joy in here it melted my heart. Have I expressed how much I loved it enough yet? Seriously, how could you not see a scenario where your notebook would get stolen and thrust into the world's womb without knowing? Alas, burning its fragile self with the lava of the pits of hell. I honestly *slides out machine gun* want to have a small talk with you. You were resilient, a tad bit idiotic and just a small pinch of stupidity was added to your whole persona. Yeah, I liked your existence. One thing that I liked was her strength and compassion, obviously hated the latter in most instances, but I could see the potential. All in all, if you were on a cliff and I had the option to save you, I would throw you a shoelace and if it snapped, oh well. Not that big of a loss. In short, he was outrageously charismatic, indecently smexy and dosed with 'I wish I could have you, you moronic donut'. And yes, I meant that with affection. He needed a certain slap, is all. Books like this one are why I doubt I'll ever "grow out" of YA. They're a joy to read at any age. And now I think I sound older than 22-MOVING ON. I like the storyline/idea and the awareness of how some of the things we are less conscious about could affect people around us negatively, and regardless of our differences, race, gender, status, etc. We are first and foremost human beings and should treat each other well. 🌟Four stars.🌟
