⭐️⭐️⭐️/5I received an eARC copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 I was honestly surprised to give this book a 3 star since I had high expectations going into here。 For having 3 authors write this， I was expecting this to be one of the best books I ever read。 Sadly， not the case。 This felt very rushed （just over 200 pages）， and I felt like there should have been more。 Barlcay I didn’t necessarily like， but I could relate to。 He lost his grandpa in a car crash， and that’s very sad。 ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5I received an eARC copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 I was honestly surprised to give this book a 3 star since I had high expectations going into here。 For having 3 authors write this， I was expecting this to be one of the best books I ever read。 Sadly， not the case。 This felt very rushed （just over 200 pages）， and I felt like there should have been more。 Barlcay I didn’t necessarily like， but I could relate to。 He lost his grandpa in a car crash， and that’s very sad。 Besides that; there wasn’t a lot of characters that I loved。 Zach， Tabby， & Christopher were the only other ones I really liked。 And the one thing that really annoyed me was the amount of homophobia。 Normally in YA books I don’t see that much， but for how short this book was， it was expressed almost the ENTIRE TIME， and it was like ugly and awful。 I almost DNF’d it for how many times someone made slurs， beat up someone， or just anything really。 I felt like there should’ve been like 5 extra chapters to go more in-depth about everything， especially with the ending， which was cute， but very rushed and incomplete。 If you need a quick read to finish up/add to your reading goal， this is a good option， but there is a lot of homophobia & slurs mentioned & expressed throughout the whole time。 。。。more

I won an ARC copy on Goodreads and let me just say: YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK！Never in my life have I read a book that made me cringe so hard and love it all the same。 Wow！ The MC is so real and relatable but so dumb-honestly part of what makes him relatable。I felt inspired and loved and the ending just wrapped everything up beautifully but not too fast so that it feels like a fix-it。This book， on the real， hits hard because I quit my college athletic career after I came out and my team was homoph I won an ARC copy on Goodreads and let me just say: YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK！Never in my life have I read a book that made me cringe so hard and love it all the same。 Wow！ The MC is so real and relatable but so dumb-honestly part of what makes him relatable。I felt inspired and loved and the ending just wrapped everything up beautifully but not too fast so that it feels like a fix-it。This book， on the real， hits hard because I quit my college athletic career after I came out and my team was homophobic and my coach was worse。 I’m so glad to see gay athletes because we exist in a heteronormative environment that can seriously hurt。 Seriously though， loved this book！ 。。。more

Thanks Simon and Schuster and Netgalley for this eARC， these opinions are my own。 I really enjoyed reading Time Out and couldn’t put it down！ Barclay is the star of the basketball team and loved by everyone。 But due to recent loss he decides he can’t keep his secret anymore， he’s gay。 But it shouldn’t be a big deal with anyone as the all love him。 But what if things don’t go as planned？ His best friend Amy also needs his help getting young people to register to vote in their town， which brings h Thanks Simon and Schuster and Netgalley for this eARC， these opinions are my own。 I really enjoyed reading Time Out and couldn’t put it down！ Barclay is the star of the basketball team and loved by everyone。 But due to recent loss he decides he can’t keep his secret anymore， he’s gay。 But it shouldn’t be a big deal with anyone as the all love him。 But what if things don’t go as planned？ His best friend Amy also needs his help getting young people to register to vote in their town， which brings him in close contact with Christopher， as the two spend time together will something more develop？ I loved Barclay’s journey to figuring out his identities and how they all fit together！ Time out is a sweet， touching story surrounding a coming out that doesn’t go perfectly， something all LGBTQIAP+ people can relate too！ Perfect for sports fans！ I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read it again！ 。。。more

5000000/5 stars！ GAHHH！！！ I love this book so much。 It couldn't have been more appropriate than comparing this to Heartstopper。 This truly is Heartstopper fleshed out as a book rather than a graphic novel。 I loved Barclay。 He seemed so authentically a teen figuring out his life。 I loved watching the development of the story and also the side characters growing and becoming more accepting。 I cannot express enough how much this book hit me in the feels。 Perfect queer YA read！I received a free copy 5000000/5 stars！ GAHHH！！！ I love this book so much。 It couldn't have been more appropriate than comparing this to Heartstopper。 This truly is Heartstopper fleshed out as a book rather than a graphic novel。 I loved Barclay。 He seemed so authentically a teen figuring out his life。 I loved watching the development of the story and also the side characters growing and becoming more accepting。 I cannot express enough how much this book hit me in the feels。 Perfect queer YA read！I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review 。。。more

Engrossing story about a basketball star coming to terms with life in his home town after he comes out。 The characters were well-developed and the story moves along quickly， but still holds onto the building tension without rushing key moments。 Overall， this is a realistic view of life in small-town America and the prejudices teens face。Thanks， NetGalley， for the ARC。

The synopsis describes Time Out as Heartstopper meets Friday Night Lights and that’s such a perfect description。 Barclay really goes through it and I loved that he made some dumbass decisions that felt very authentic to a boy in high school whose life is falling apart。 I also loved how he stood up for himself from the beginning rather than learning how to along the way。 I don’t really want to give away who the love interest is even though you find out pretty early on because I didn’t pick up on The synopsis describes Time Out as Heartstopper meets Friday Night Lights and that’s such a perfect description。 Barclay really goes through it and I loved that he made some dumbass decisions that felt very authentic to a boy in high school whose life is falling apart。 I also loved how he stood up for himself from the beginning rather than learning how to along the way。 I don’t really want to give away who the love interest is even though you find out pretty early on because I didn’t pick up on it right away and when it clicked I was so on board。 The flirting progression is really sweet and they’re SUCH a cute couple once things finally get there。I really appreciate the grief representation between Barclay， his mom， Maggie and Devin。 This book is less than 300 pages and I’m impressed with how fleshed out each member of the Elliot family is and how they’re affected by Barclay’s grandfather’s death。 I’ve said this so many times about all the queer YA I’ve read lately， but I’m so happy this story exists。 I was a queer teen in the South that graduated high school in 2010 so stories like this either didn’t exist or weren’t widely accessible so seeing more and more great queer YA coming out is really amazing。 。。。more

Time Out was a great coming-of-age story that got to address some real tough conversations and topics in a non-progressive southern town。 Our main character is the talk of the town throughout the book， however he goes from everyone's hero to mostly everyone's disappointment。 With old friends and new， unexpected friends， he learns to not only love himself， but also learns that he must stay true to himself。 I would highly recommend this book to anyone， but this is a MUST read for LGBTQ+ teens！ Time Out was a great coming-of-age story that got to address some real tough conversations and topics in a non-progressive southern town。 Our main character is the talk of the town throughout the book， however he goes from everyone's hero to mostly everyone's disappointment。 With old friends and new， unexpected friends， he learns to not only love himself， but also learns that he must stay true to himself。 I would highly recommend this book to anyone， but this is a MUST read for LGBTQ+ teens！ 。。。more
