*Potential Spoilers*
Micah is a queer teen who is terribly shy. He has had 99 opportunities to talk to boys he was interested in but choked every time. He turned his failures into artwork and posted them to an anonymous instagram account. He made a decision that boy 100 would be the boy he finally had the courage to ask out and that it would end in a fairytale come true.
Micah meets boy 100 on the train, but they got separated by a crowd before they could even exchange names. Boy 100 left behind his jacket, which was hand-made by boy 100 himself. Micah and his friends then go on a quest to find boy 100. And when they do, it is utterly sweet and adorable.
That's where everything kind goes downhill. The characters were all annoying in some way. The romance was not romancey. Let me break it down by the three main characters.
Micah: queer, artist, shy, and famous because of his dad, which is why the art instagram was anonymous to begin with. He has a problem with saying what he wants and feels, and ultimately gets manipulated into staying in a relationship where he was basically being used for his fame.
Grant (boy 100): Seemed cool and sweet to begin with, but had some serious, unresolved trust and confidence issues from previous relationships. I think he genuinely cared for Micah, but not only clung to him due to his issues, but also began using Micah's fame to further his career as an artist.
Elliot: Was a new friend of Micah's best friend, Hannah, who eventually became great friends with Micah. He is also queer and in a dying relationship. What I hated about Elliot was that he continuously shamed Micah for his wealth (which Micah had nothing to do with) and disguised it as a joke. It was not funny to me at all.
Grant became increasingly self-involved and continued to gaslight Micah to keep in trapped. Meanwhile, Micah begins to see Elliot as his true boy 100. But why you would fall for someone who constantly made fun of you being well-off is beyond me. This wasn't cute, and it took away from the romance for me. Micah deserved better than Grant or Elliot and was too clueless or scared to see it.… (més)
