this book is really heavy-handed on the preachiness and that discolors it a little for me. the back of the book promised romance and the romance was a very very small part and was not the kind of romance i was hoping for (more of a fling than anything and damn did juliet fall in love with every lesbian she met). but, as much as it wasn't my favorite book in the world, i also recognize it wasn't written for me. i can see the person it was written for and i'm glad they have it.

Cute!! The writing style/voice was a little annoying and unrealistic sometimes but the characters were real and fun. Love hot romances with mysterious lesbian librarians.

I feel like I say this often, but this may legit be one of my new favorite books. It’s a book I wish existed when I was a teen. I’m still processing all the things but the most important takeaway would be “accomplices not allies” and to never stop checking your privilege
