I did feel like there was not much depth to Molly's relationships with other women and it did feel quite whimsical at times. However, it did reflect the fact that sexuality is very fluid and we are not 100% anything. I would give the novel a 3.5 stars!

No spoilers here, but it's more than just a coming-of-age story. I loved so many of the characters, but I hurt with them too. I laughed with them and I almost cried.
Highly recommend for all those who are curious and for all my southern allies/country-folk allies, LGBTQIA+, or otherwise.

I can understand why this was perceived as shocking at the time of first publishing, not because of the theme of lesbianism, but the tone and word choice is often harsh, blunt and direct. There are some explicit scenes which are not written akin to a modern day romance novel. The main character is rightly unapologetic in how she lives her life, with a hint of aiming to intentionally shock.
