Ophelia After All by Racquel Marie

phoebe1321's review against another edition

4.0

I loved it! It was such a unique, sweet, coming-of-age story. I laughed and I cried and it was overall a very comforting book that I wish I read before. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling to figure out who they are.
Trigger warnings: homophobia

this is the kind of book that would have been so perfect for me to have read as a teenager going through similar feelings to ophelia (though in quite different ways lol!). i loved how perfectly teenage this book was alongside that, and how that really affirmed what i went through as a teenager discovering my queerness. had a great time reading this!

arielleb148's review against another edition

i was excited for a gay book but then like 3 pages in i started to get war flashbacks from my senior year and then also all the other years of high school and that’s just not a good place for me to be in mentally so…sorry, but dnf. blame the trauma high school left me with.

I found it to be alright. The romance took a while for me to enjoy. I did like the plot but I felt the pacing was slow.
