One of the best books I've read in a while! The queerness was heartwarming, and the friendships were wonderful.

Loved all the characters in this and the exploration of sexual assault and healing, which can be so messy. It made me a little sad that I didn't have this kind of community in college, haha, but I guess it's never too late for a found family!

Old Enough by Haley Jakobson is the queer campus novel that isn't scared to tackle some darker issues and I love it for it. This book is the novel every bisexual deserves, it is so so relatable in the way that the main character struggles to find her place in the world. The dual timeline with flashbacks to her teenage years works well and adds to the narrative. I wasn't a big fan of then second person perspective in these flashbacks but still enjoyed them. The side characters made the plot lively but they were hard to keep track of and distinguish some of them were not as well fleshed out. Probably, the plot would have worked with one or two fewer side characters. Overall, I had a very good reading experience and will read anything (bisexual) Jakobson publishes next. Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin for the review copy.
