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?

I loved this book so so very much. The writing felt so personal and the book as a whole was a emotional roller coaster, I cried and teared up more than once. As for the characters I found a deep connection to Evelyn and Harry. The different concepts to the many relationships

Especially with her and Harry (definitely by far my favourite character) and some of the upsetting reality with domestic abuse :(

I was absolutely engrossed in and adored it. Probably one of my favourite part was the relationships and exploring them. As for the other very present and important theme I felt provoked so much feelings where of the idea of women’s body image and societies image on young women at that time and how we are still faced with that problem. It just was so heart breaking

The reality of how judgmental society can be towards women and the LGBTQIA+ community especially in the public eye in the era of time and how that got in the way of people being true and happy.

Beautiful, heart wrenching book I am obsessed and definitely recommend to others <3

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.
