Scene Queen by Charlie Novak

Book Review

5 stars 🍩

Cannot even begins to say how fast I devoured this book! Evan (Eva Nessense) is the epitome of a snarky, salty Gothic queen, and I love them so hard! Rhys (Iantos twin from Spiced Kisses) is their perfect balance, he is protective yet not controlling, he let's Evan be his true self in and out of drag, and loves both sides of him.

These two start off as snarky neighbors with undeniable chemistry and slowly realize they could be something brilliant if they just let themselves be loved. Both men need to learn to accept others into their lives and let some of their past insecurities go. It was such a fun ride from start to finish.

The cameos are top-notch! Including ones from a certain Heather's Bay sass that brought my love to Charlie Novak to life! I'm so happy to see all these separate stories combine into this amazing story! Cannot wait to see whose next in this universe!

Book overview

Note to self: just because he's hot and funny doesn't change the fact he's annoying AF.

Hooking up with my irritating as hell neighbour wasn't on my agenda for the week, even if he is ridiculously gorgeous with a smile that lights up my life. His music is too loud, he’s too nosy… but I can’t stop myself from wanting more than a taste.

It was only supposed to be a one time thing, but now Rhys seems determined to charm his way into my world. And when he gets his nose broken at a rock concert, I'm the one who comes to his rescue.

But there's no time in my life for a relationship. Juggling drag, a paramedic career, and helping with my sister's kids has already pushed me close to burnout, and I'm walking a fine line between survival and exhaustion.

I've always been the one helping everyone else and I can't remember the last time I put myself first.

Maybe it's time to cause a scene and go after the thing I really want: a chance with the sparkling man next door who has terrible taste in music.
