awfully cringe

I am…so sorry…but this was not good. The writing was just so bad y’all. Repetitive as hell, metaphors beat to a pulp, and an entire cast of messy characters that we only knew at surface level. Without further context, these relationships felt toxic and codependent. Everytime the characters spoke I thought “no one talks like this!!” The marriage plot was a mess & a half. Honestly, the whole thing felt like it was written by an AI bot fed exclusively Gen z internet discourse. A little bummed this was my first pick for the queer bookclub at work. 😬

love a good sapphic book, so much diversity and culture. so cute. i tried so hard not to cry in my work’s break room reading this one. 

3.5 ⭐️ this book was enjoyable! Although it wasn’t what I expected.. there was less romance which was ok. The romance was cute but a little cringe at times. I do like that the mental health focus and representation in this book wasn’t romanticized and showed that seeking help should not be stigmatized.
