i literally had 0 idea what i was getting into LMAO but i was pleasantly surprised! this was published in 2020 and it mentions real life events that have happened irl, such as BLM, trump, etc! the book can be seen as political as they do mention the topics i’ve listed and for someone who wants to enjoy a cute fluffy read with no mention of politics or the real world, this isn’t for you.

this book was so cute and witty! i had no idea this was about a girl who is finding herself once her mom died during an earthquake. we also go through her journey of coming to terms with her being bi and having to tell her family and friends. she fears telling her family bc of the things they have said in passing (they were lowk racist lmao) and she doesn’t agree with them so she thought she would be disowned. THEN she feared telling her friends bc of how much she was bullied for being a lesbian at her old hs by her “friends” (when she wasn’t even out then

This book is ‘Gilmore Girls’ if Lorelai died and Rory was queer and even slightly tolerable.

Not bad, but it just felt rather forced at some points in the book to the point where I was almost skimming the page. Schneider’s other books dig deeper.
