Well a cute coming-of-age romance story!
This was one of the stories where I don’t 100% wanted them to get together because their behaviours were strange. I also didn’t like that the ending felt so abrupt

I wanted to know how Ruby‘s relationship with her mom is now and how their fight will be solved, also what her moms reaction to Ruby having a gf is, what everybody will think of her and them now

because these are the things Ruby worried about and I wanna know how it really ends. Also SPOILER IG Morgan taking Ruby back like 50 times annoyed me ngl
When it came to Morgan I honestly didn’t car toooooo much because I just didn’t understand her history at all, what happened?? It was always just hinted but never fully told. Also how does she not realise that her family/parents are RICH rich. Also her not even batting an eye when she heard that her parents nearly lost their house bc they have no money from suing. Them buying alot of bedroom stuff (mattress?) for Ruby then too? Just confusing and weird

Instantly captivating, Some Girls Do shows the complexity of being queer and queer relationships. Jennifer Dugan perfectly captures what sapphic love feels like and expertly explores friendships, family, love, and pride.

I just started this bc i needed a break from life and i finished it the same night i started it bc i just fell in love with the characters and the portrayal of coming out done EXTREMELY right. I didn't expect to love this book that much but sometimes we just need to rest and read a great book about sapphic women and their love.

I thought that this book was a precious snapshot of first love, coming out, and changing your little corner of the world. Ruby and Morgan were adorable and frustrating together, but also they were complete people on their own. I loved the cast of side characters who were there to support the girls, particularly Morgan's friends from her LGBT Pride Club and Morgan's former stepfather, Billy. This is just a very sweet slice of queer girl life, and I loved it.

I deducted a star just because I didn't think there was anything particularly special about the writing. I didn't think it was bad, but it also isn't the thing that I'm going to think about when I think about the book in the future. The character work, however, I think was really good.

Yes, yes, yes. I loved the characters, the angst and the plot. This was such a good read and I loved the short chapters! Also, Aaron is officially the best side character ever.
