texashippie's review against another edition

It feels like parts of this book belong in different universes, like not all of the parts of the book belong to the same book if that makes sense. It’s too jarring. And I can usually withstand dark books, but the descriptions of self harm is too much when it feels like there isn’t a clear purpose for them.

This was a sweet, well-written read that you can tell was written with a lot of love. There was a good balance of light and shade, with bits of well-done humour and the main characters were so compelling (although a lot of the supporting characters were kind of written off as one-dimensional stereotypes imo). It didn’t completely blow me away the way I was expecting it to, considering the amount of people I’ve heard raving about it, but maybe my expectations were too high.

I genuinely loved this book. Williams’ writing is witty and charming, the characters felt so real and true with complex layers. They felt like people. 
I loved this take on “the one that got away” and how layered this story felt, getting to see the inner workings of Audre and Lizette was great and added such richness to storytelling.
One of my favourite reads this summer!
