Critics Review
“Packed with empowering and relatable moments, with the perfect balance of humor and heart, Blaine for the Win has my vote.” – Rachael Lippincott, New York Times bestselling author of Five Feet Apart
“Blaine for the Win celebrates flighty, unserious gay boys everywhere! As one myself, I’ve never felt more seen. Robbie Couch has gifted us with an irresistible, lion-hearted rom-com about love, inspiration, and toxic queer optics. Don’t miss this confection!” – Adam Sass, award-winning author of Surrender Your Sons
“A wonderful novel about the importance of being yourself and having friends who will follow you no matter where you go. Blaine and his fun-loving, absolute powerhouse circle of friends had me cheering for them the whole time. I’d vote for Blaine!” – Loan Le, author of A Pho Love Story
“Couch (The Sky Blues, 2021) has written an engaging novel with likable characters and a clever plot…an altogether winning read.” – Booklist
“With panache and an upbeat tone, Couch (The Sky Blues) delivers a lighthearted rom-com pastiche that updates its source material, tackling issues of mental health and self-care, socioeconomic divides, and staying true to oneself.” – Publisher’s Weekly * March 2022 *
“Inspired by Legally Blonde, this novel ultimately shrugs off the restrictions of being a mere adaptation to offer a clever, fun, original story full of heart, awkwardness, and laughs…this is a clear win for readers who like their heroes loveable and imperfect.” – BCCB
