Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Overall, a rather adorable love story with some angst along the way. Sinter is a bit all over the place at times but this just made me like his character more. At times, some parts of the story felt a little rushed (especially towards the end) but I can forgive that tiny criticism because I just loved reading this story. Hopefully this won't be the last we see of Sinter and Andy.

I loved it! This book took me through a roller coaster of emotions and I was rooting for Sinter the whole way. The writing was amazing, the characters were amazing, the plot was amazing...I could go on and on. I cannot wait until this is published so I can recommend it to everyone.

Emotional rollercoaster! I wasn't sure at first but I was soon won over and was rooting for Sinter. The story had a lot of heart

I want to thank Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book was heartwarmingly good.
This book totally made me feel for these characters.
I loved our main character and felt like they were one of my dear friends by the time I finished reading.
The storyline was amazing and really drew me in.
Overall 4 stars.

Wow. I have fallen in love with Sinter. This book is a beautiful character driven story. Sinter is a 25 year old goth, actor trying to find his place in this world. With conservative parents who disapprove of him and his friend Andy, Sinter has maintained only minimal contact with them. When he gets a movie job in London he starts questioning his sexuality. Does his attraction to his best friend Andy mean he is gay? Does his attraction to Fiona the director mean anything? Sinter's life gets more complicated when has to face what he really wants in life. As a coming of age and growing into who you really are story, this hits every note perfectly.

All the Better Part of Me is a novel about an actor whose life changes dramatically when he realises he's bisexual. Sinter Blackwell is an American working in London, just cast in a TV movie set in the 80s which suits his love of new wave music and goth style well. His parents don't approve of his career, he finds himself flirting with his director Fiona, and his feelings for his gay best friend Andy might not be quite what he thought them to be. When he moves back to Seattle to see if there's anything between him and Andy, things get very complicated, and Sinter must make a lot of big life choices and work out what he really wants in life.

This is a fun book in the 'new adult' genre, bringing some of the romance and character depth of YA writing with more twentysomething life considerations. Elements bring a lot of the conventions of similar stories (in love with best friend, lack of communication, etc) and it is one for people who enjoy the tension yet overall happiness of fan fiction. Sinter is an enjoyable protagonist to read about, and his goth style and the 80s song chapter titles bring an extra touch to the book. If the blurb sounds appealing it is worth picking up, as it is a light read that still manages to make you feel for the characters.

Rounding up to 3 stars because this was an enjoyable read despite the fact that I had some major complaints. The drama was like... over the top soap opera levels, everything revolved to easily, and Andy and Sinter's relationship was the only one with any development (there was absolutely 0 development to explain why Fiona got so hung up on Sinter). Despite that, I basically enjoyed the book and I think people who like New Adult as a genre more than I do would enjoy it.

I really enjoyed this book, but I went into it expecting more of a finding myself story rather than what it turned out to be, which was something totally unexpected. Even though the book wasn't anything I was expecting it to be, I still enjoyed my time reading it. It wasn't a light read, but it was fast and I was able to read it in one sitting. Also, I loved the characters and would love to read more about Sinter, Andy, and Verona's story.

You know when you read a book and you know it’s just going to be your fave??
This is it.
I adored Sinter so much. Trying to fit in while also trying to stand out and not conform. With his eyeliner and black clothes. But coming out is terrifying.

Andy was such a sweetheart and I loved the way you knew his feelings even when he was very close to the vest with them.

This book had all the feels. I loved that this was about a bisexual trying to figure out his feelings. I just wanted to hug Sinter because I just FEEL him. Honestly. I loved this books SO MUCH.
