Review: Love, Hate & Clickbait by Liz Bowery




Love, Hate & Clickbait
by Liz Bowery
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(spoilers in this review but really this book isn't that hard to figure out)

2.5 stars rounded up

All right, look, if you ignore the absolute absurdity of the politics, how "famous" these campaign staffer dudes are, and the weird characterizations, you have a fairly sweet little book. It's a lot to ask I know especially when these staffers who are fake dating each other (?) to benefit a political campaign (??) so the candidate looks pro-LGBTQ+ (???) become so popular people are writing real person fic and drawing fan art of them and these things are being posted on buzzfeed and vulture (????). In no world would this happen. Nobody gives one (1) crap about mid level staffers on a political campaign that hasn't even been announced yet. But if you can manage to roll your eyes and look past it, the one soulless uses everyone for his own personal gain guy becomes soft for the tall ugly-or-maybe-hot-idk frat boy persona soft on the inside guy. Yeah, the characterizations are kind of a mess. Who even are these people. Whatever, it doesn't matter. By the end, these two dingdongs have managed to stop being gross fake political staffers and fall in love with each other and become gross real political staffers for a different campaign that won't use their relationship for a political platform! Isn't love grand?

CW: this book insults Old Navy which is my favorite store so I knocked off half a star.
