I tried to resume it, thinking I remembered the last thing that happened. I don't, so I need to restart it, and I'm just not in the mood to do that.
I don't remember why I dropped it last year, either.

Maybe I'll try again next year.

This was a nice quick read. I enjoyed Grace's journey and seeing how she grew once shaking off the burnout of academia. I liked hearing her stand up to her parents and call them out on how they treated, neglected and pressured her.

This is one of my favorite books of all time! I adore everything about it. I walked in expecting a sapphic romance and got so much more. In fact, the romance was far from the focus of the novel, which may be disappointing to some but which I found refreshing and very successful for the story.  It’s funny, it’s thoughtful, it’s emotional, it’s beautiful! This book provides poignant exploration of self-discovery, mental illness, found family, and the complexities black queer women face, both in academia and beyond. I cannot recommend it highly enough! Morgan Rogers, please write another book!!

I don’t care about being anything remotely close to analytical I don’t CAREEEEEE. This week put me through the wringer and this book got me through it. My girlfriend was the person who told me this was her favorite book because it was the first time she’d really SEEN herself in a book to an T and so I wanted to read it. Forgot we have the same zodiac chart and relatively similar personalities so yeah…this book packed a punch. I am Grace. Grace is me. Her highs were my highs her lows were my lows and we both came out the other side ok. No notes. Thank you

Trigger warnings:
Spoilerself-harm, anxiety, depression, physical injury, alcohol consumption, loss of memory, borderline personality disorder, military themes, racism, suicide attempt (in the past), parent death (in the past).


3,5 stars.
I expected a lot from this book and, unfortunately, not all of my expectations were met. I absolutely loved some of the themes explored here, anxiety, the search of perfection, being lost in your twenties and trying to figure out your own path. That being said, I had a bit of a hard time getting into the story at first and by moments and I'm really sad okay.

This woman can WRITE.
A beautiful, thoughtful story about a woman who worked so hard for the perfect everything, and the ramifications of living that hard on yourself coming to a head.
Found family, daughter hood, love, mental health, friendship, dreams...so much is covered in this incredible read.

I was really looking forward to this book and had a more difficult time with it than I expected. I listened via the Libby app and I’m not sure if it was maybe the narrator or what but I was having trouble following and often felt myself daydreaming while listening. The story felt repetitive and while I did love the characters, I just didn’t feel like there was enough plot to keep me interested. We get it, she’s stressed about adulting and feels like she’s dedicated her whole life to grad school and doesn’t know what’s next. While a noble, relatable concept, it was stated sooooo many times. It almost felt like the author was struggling to find things to write about despite this not being very long. 

3.5/5 stars. Loved the characters, wished there was more story for them.
