    ARC Review: Blaine for the Win

    After reading and loving The Sky Blues in 2021, Blaine for the Win was one of our most anticipated reads of 2022, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Trust us when we say you don’t want to miss out on it. But if you need a few more reasons than that, check out our review below!

    And don’t forget, you can follow Robbie on twitter.

    High school junior Blaine Bowers has it all—the perfect boyfriend, a pretty sweet gig as a muralist for local Windy City businesses, a loving family, and awesome, talented friends. And he is absolutely, 100% positive that aforementioned perfect boyfriend—​senior student council president and Mr. Popular of Wicker West High School, Joey—is going to invite Blaine to spend spring break with his family in beautiful, sunny Cabo San Lucas.

    Except Joey breaks up with him instead. In public. On their one-year anniversary.

    Because, according to Joey, Blaine is too goofy, too flighty, too…unserious. And if Joey wants to go far in life, he needs to start dating more serious guys. Guys like Zach Chesterton.

    Determined to prove that Blaine can be what Joey wants, Blaine decides to enter the running to become his successor (and beat out Joey’s new boyfriend, Zach) as senior student council president.

    But is he willing to sacrifice everything he loves about himself to do it?
