hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I won’t lie, when a friend recommended this to me a few months ago and mentioned that a large topic of the book was internalized biphobia & bi erasure, I was nervous to read it. So few books get into this subject, so to immediately fall in love with Darcy’s character from the moment we as the readers met her and explore her story. It’s so similar to my story, working through internalized biphobia after only having dated one person, a cishet guy, in my life — years ago — but still knowing in my heart that I’m bisexual. Such a fantastic book, and I’m so excited to read more of Sophie Gonzales’ works!!

  I think that for a YA book, the topic of bi erasure and biphobia (internalized and not) was handled nicely. However, I have realized that I would like to read a book about this topic, but with more nuance and depth and less in a Tumblr-post style.
  As for the characters, my favorite was Brougham for sure, with Darcy herself closely behind. She had her bad moments, but also some really cool ones. Also, for someone who was running a relationship advice business, she really was clueless when it came to herself.
