Sophie Gonzales and Cale Dietrich's "If This Gets Out is an absolute showstopper! Equal parts edgy and adorable, this bright, joyful book has everything I look for in a queer YA romance." —Phil Stamper, bestselling author of The Gravity of Us

Eighteen-year-olds Ruben Montez and Zach Knight are two members of the boy-band Saturday, one of the biggest acts in America. Along with their bandmates, Angel Phan and Jon Braxton, the four are teen heartbreakers in front of the cameras and best friends backstage. But privately, cracks are starting to form: their once-easy rapport is straining under the pressures of fame, and Ruben confides in Zach that he's feeling smothered by management's pressure to stay in the closet.
On a whirlwind tour through Europe, with both an unrelenting schedule and minimal supervision, Ruben and Zach come to rely on each other more and more, and their already close friendship evolves into a romance. But when they decide they're ready to tell their fans and live freely, Zach and Ruben start to truly realize that they will never have the support of their management. How can they hold tight to each other when the whole world seems to want to come between them?

This was so much fun! I can't say I'm aware of any boy band fandom, but hey, I'm a big fan of a lot of small fans and it was intriguing to think through the relationships the members all have with each other, and especially the way that they themselves can be marketed and sold. ( )

I read the NetGalley ARC; this is my honest review.

It's the perfect title for this plot, something I always admire. The boy band guys are distinct - and the two POV characters get different fonts, which helped me immeasurably as they each have (different) mom issues. The plot is given enough time to develop; the issues are taken from some real-world scandals. The individual ways the guys handle problems was great. And, I liked how it ended, which is key to gaining a fourth star. I didn't mind at all that it's fade-to-black (no sex scenes). The boy band/management issues felt real, and were creepy, but the entertainment industry can be, and if you don't know that, just remember: no business is your friend. The bottom line is inherently dangerous to individuals. It's an important message, particularly for young readers.

I had issues with how poorly one of the guys deals with his inner awareness, or rather how long it lasted. That's probably just me. It isn't my own experience at all.

I give this four instead of five stars because the prose is full of showing a feeling and then telling me what it is, so double-telling, which feels like distrust of readers to me. Each POV character over-describes his state of mind multiple times, another symptom of telling instead of showing. Done sparingly, it's fine. But here it is constant.

All in all, not sorry I came across this one and gave it a try. ( )

I'm a big fan of both, Sophie and Cale. When I saw this synopsis my directioner heart lost a beat, but the read was so not the fanfiction I was expecting!
You can see some resemblance with the boys, but also with a lot of boybands and girlbands over the times, I liked a lot the relationship between them as a group, very close but also some tension between thinking of the others as friends or work colleagues.
The plot was dense, the drama was close to zero when it comes to their relationships, they just were really good to each other, never fighting hard, never lying, just some small misunderstandings that were resolved almost instantly.
The book was mostly about the industry, actually, about closeting, toxic relationships in the family or at work, being gaslighted, outed, threatened, substance abuse, and so many things that we don't talk enough about, when we really should.
It's really a lot bigger than just a ship, being the actually ships being truth or not, doesn't matter, what does matter it's why, when we have 3% of the worldwide population being LGBTQIA (this of the people that are actually out, in friendlier countries this can be over the 20%), how can in the media we have so few examples? This makes us think that one of two things is happening:
1- the LGBT community doesn't get to be between the biggest stars
2- the LGBT community is there, but closed
And why? This can only reflect the prejudice of the public, the media and everyone that manage this industries. We, as the public, need to show support. If we are showing to the wrong persons, like the Saturday's fans that were over heels by Anjon when they're not the real couple in the band, well, that was a honest mistake, but this still showed to them as a band that they would be just as loved by the fans even if they were not straight as the media painted them.
Even if the authors said that the book was not inspired by any real ship, and I believe it, they obviously made the research about the ones that are actually in the media and used this in this book. It was very respectful with all the real artists, and nothing but perfect, as it always is with the books by these two. ( )

While reading this, I felt like I was being thrown back to 2014 and One Direction. This story follows Ruben, Zach, Jon and Angel, better know as Saturday, a popular boyband who is on tour. Zach confide in Ruben and things get heated quickly. This was a good read, I enjoyed the writing and my boyband heart was happy. I did enjoy the last five chapters and how the band took their own destiny in their hands. And I’d love a follow up book to see how they fair as a band. But seriously, it felt like this was an One Direction fan fiction in book form. ( )
