The romance was cute, the LI was very wholesome, and I liked some bits about biphobia. I appreciate the book for being a quick and engaging read. However, there were just too many pop culture references (now I know that people ship Gigi and Kendall) and hashtags, and it was too liberal American for my tastes (I'm still not ever Cece's bedroom description). I also think that the writing was at some points out of touch with #theyouth.

One thing I hate most about reading is when you have high hopes for a book and then it doesn't live up to them. But that means there's also an opposite to that: when you pick up a book that interests you but that you don't have high expectations for, and it ends up being really good.
That was my experience with this book, and I loved it so much. It has so many amazing conversations, about being bi and biphobia, about social media and dealing with it in a healthy way, and so on.
One criticism is that while this book talked quite a lot about politics, it didn't really address CeCe's privilege as a white, cis, abled person. While she has good reasons to want to keep politics out of her social media initially, it's still a privilege to be able to do so, and I would have liked to see that addressed.
I did however really like CeCe, and I think she went through a lot of character development. Plus, I really loved the love interest in this book.

I came here for bi rep, and damn, I got it.
This was so good???? I literally couldn't stop reading once I started! It was funny, it was romantic, it was relatable, and best of all it tackled several issues prevalent in the real world. This book discussed biphobia, the good and bad parts of social media/having an online presence, political activism, messy families, first relationships/heartbreaks, and more!
I wanted more answers or closure from some parts of the plot, but they were left unanswered in the end so that's a bit of a setback. Still, this was such a solid read and I definitely enjoyed it a lot.

Full review to be published on March 7 (along with an interview with Jess!) at kaitplusbooks.com as part of the TBRandBeyond Blog Tour!
For right now: I'm crying happy tears again. Going to paste one of my very favorite quotes from the book here, because honestly it sums up my feelings towards the book pretty well: "I hope you like it, but it’s okay if you don’t. Because I LOVE IT."
