I just love Steph so much. I was so happy to see her in True Colors and then her own book

I love being back in the Life Is Strange world and seeing more from Steph, I just struggled with disliking the other MC. Love the representation of a female main character, I just wish their relationship hadn’t been so toxic (or at least if 95% of the book hadn’t just been about that). Glad I got the opportunity to understand Steph better!

a really incredible addition to the LIS series and one that feels like the perfect bridge for Rachel's character between Before The Storm and True Colours.

This is my first time reading this kind of novel; a story based on a video game and a story focused on a romantic relationship. But it was such a pleasure to know more about Steph, one of the favorite characters of Life is Strange. Sometimes it felt a little constrained by the events of the games, and at other times it was really emotional —knowing how it would end for the two main characters—. But over all, I enjoyed it a lot.

7/10. Loved it all the way to about the last 5th of the book. The ending felt a bit rushed, anti-climatic, and too open-ended, even though I know what happens to Steph afterwards. I guess it's more realistic this way, that you don't get closure with some people.

It felt kinda cheesy many times but overall it was a fun and lighthearted read. I love the Life is Strange games and it was fun to read a story about side character Steph prior to her appearance in True Colors.
