4.0

i really enjoyed Evelyn's narrative, but the ending, specifically

Monique's father being the passenger in Harry's fatal car crash

, just felt cheap, as well as a lot of Monique's character development. like she interacts with Evelyn and then

asks for a promotion and divorces her husband

—that's great but i'm not entirely convinced it was necessary. would the story not have worked if it was only Evelyn's autobiography?

This book was AMAZING! I know everyone says it, but it’s true. It took my about a week to really get into the book (but that’s because I was attempting to annotate my thoughts along the way) but once I hit the half way point, I couldn’t stop reading it. All I’m saying is if you haven’t read this yet, you have to read it at some point. (Remember to check TW!)

It’s a very well written book and I do genuinely recommend it with all my heart. However, it is not void of flaws. I strongly recommend seeking out some opinions from POC (especially Latinx and Black POC) about this book and how it talks about race before reading it.

i wish i could give this book more than 5 stars. it moved me. it made me laugh. it made me cry. it will stick with me forever. as a bisexual woman, it made me feel seen and known to know that evelyn was so adamant about being known as bisexual and not lesbian. she is two halves. not just one. i loved this book so so much. highly highly recommend.
