I ended up burning through this book quickly, which was fun - I haven’t gotten really hooked into a read like that in a long time. I liked Haley’s voice and LOVED Wes, and I thought the exploration of bisexuality in this upper middle-class setting was interesting.

Haley (okay, maybe she isn’t saying this is autobiographical, but it suuuuure felt that way was compellingly honest about the tension between being a straight-passing white girl in her childhood settings and then being a trauma survivor and a queer woman in her college setting. I liked how she grappled with the things that offers her and the things she struggles with, having one foot in each world.

Though the plot moves slowly at points, overall, I thought it was a great read.

I loved this nuanced and slow portrayal of coming out and coming to terms with being raped years later. Sav, the main character, was so sharply written and it was easy to fall into her way of navigating the world.

I really enjoyed this book, even though there were some very heavy topics in it. Sometimes people felt more like a stereotype than a person (Vera being a witch for example). A lot of the internal monologues about trying to be a good feminist, bisexual, ally to marginalized communities, was relatable and made me laugh.
