This should be compulsory reading for 1) all high school seniors and 2) all aspiring politicians.
Apart from loving everything about the characters and the story, this is also just very, very well-written. It's so voicy! I was 100% with Juliet the entire time.

I picked this up from a local bookstore from the YA romance section and was disappointed that it wasn't romance focused LOL
This was such a great read though and what I imagine to be an accurate portrayal of white queers in Portland. LOL. I'm genuinely surprised that I liked it as much as I did! I was pretty uncomfortable with the p*ssy power white feminism at first, but that's the point right? The importance of intersectional feminism.
The progression of her releasing a white woman from the pedestal she had placed her on and confronting the racism that she and others had been facing during her summer internship was perfectly paced.
I wished there was more chapters on her fling with Kira, but I get that the plot is centered on Juliet's coming out, the unconditional love from her family, and the reality of our heroes being human with flaws.

Very fun to read! It was serving as a palette cleanser from so very intense high fantasy, and it did the job. Juliet is a character that many queer people can relate too, especially the baby queers, and her story resonates with contemporary intersectional feminism in a way that highlights both its flaws and its strengths. The writing style sometimes bored me, but only a little bit.

perfect coming of age for baby dykes regardless of their age. i'm 23 and found solace in this book. I felt like i was learning alongside Juliet. I have so many questions now and I'm ready to look into my gay ancestors.
