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.

3.5/5 stars. Loved the characters, wished there was more story for them.
Great read, and especially relatable for millennials who struggle with anxiety and have been in academia for a good chunk of their lives. The lesbian love story is also lovely, and has a happy ending. Highly recommend for an enjoyable read.
This book was nothing of what I expected but in a very good way. A beautiful story about a young Black mixed woman trying to find her place in this world. Trying to steer away from societal expectations and her parent's expectations and figuring out what her own needs are as an individual. Beautiful story about finding oneself in a society where it is so quick to give you a label and a prejudgment.

Very heartwarming, realistic stakes and complexities and a great cast of characters with well paced arcs.
Not a bad debut novel, the idea was there and I can totally relate to the post grad WTF do I do now, I was told the next step would be there for me at the end to only mysteriously disappear the moment you go to step on it which just sends you falling and flailing and questioning everything.
I didn’t find Grace Porter x100 very enjoyable, but she was going through a major life crisis and floundering and really needed the support of her friends and chosen family. No matter how hard she tried to bring them down with her some how it seems they managed to stay afloat during her wreck. there were many important characters (7 + Grace?), I enjoyed Meera and raj and Ximenas characters but was confused with Agnes. Raj and Meera and Baba were much more positive and uplifting characters than the rest so it would have been nicer to get to know them more.
It was overall sadder than I had anticipated and not very romantic for a romance (there was only one fade to black sex scene) It was more like an arranged marriage vibe and trying to make it work which is fine but didn’t feel the love grow between them. It seemed like Porter was mainly using her as a crutch to escape her difficult family dynamics & Yukis self loathing and lack of confidence was just waiting to send them into a doom spiral. Maybe I was spoiled by Project Hail Mary but if your main character is going to have a PhD in Astronomy I felt like there should be some science talk about it, wow me with what you have learned in 11 years that the white people are dismissing. The degree field had almost no relevance to the character aside from allowing a lot of star metaphors. There were also a couple of typos that surprised me. After writing this maybe it’s closer to 2 stars for me. I’m glad she is getting therapy and getting closer with her mother but the ending really didn’t pull her together like I was anticipating.

Okay I actually ended up finishing this. It’s actually really good and the themes are very relatable. I think I just hated it because I went in expecting escapist romance and got a story that reminded me too much of reality. Once I got over that after three months I was all about this book, and it helps that it’s currently the summer so I don’t have to think about my adult life just yet. I looove all the character relationships in this book. The platonic relationships are the ones that really shine. Ironically it was the romantic pairing I liked the least. Her relationship with her mom, stepdad, and later on her father the Colonel are very sweet too. I like the diversity and how they make being LGBT a normal thing. 3.5/5 stars!
