I felt really connected to Darcy throughout the book. I was rooting for her and Brougham for a while and I was so happy at the end. Plus she got to find a way to carry on giving advice 😍💻💜

The premise was fun! It was a cute queer bisexual centered story. I love the discussions about attachment styles, setting boundaries and communicating needs.

I loved that there was brief but casual asexual rep in the side characters. Darcy gets a letter from an asexual student asking for advice about their relationship. Darcy’s response is spot on. It was really nice to see. There were other queer characters as well.

Along the way we get to see problems/tensions with the main character’s parents relationships and how it affects the children/main characters as well.

If you like this book, I recommend Love Letters for Joy by Melissa See or Dear Wendy by Ann Zhao

The Plot of the book itself is three stars.
But because of the dating advice sprinkled in, I gave it 4 stars. The characters were not always relatable but never unrealistic and not portrayed or written as something other than teenagers and thus in the case of Darcy pretty flawed. The main protagonists were both white, but the rest of the characters were pretty diverse. In the last third some plot lines were not adequately explained or even finished and the plot hat some pacing issues as well.
It’s a cheesy and sometimes cringy romance with overused tropes executed well (being queer myself ) i enjoyed it.

the Q and Q Qlub was really nice and I kinda wish I had one at my school. Although everyone being teenagers more mature themes like parental abandonment, abuse and alcoholism were handled really well.

This book was fun. It wasn't anything special, but it was fun. The main character, Darcy, was seriously flawed and I would call her an antagonist. She learned from her actions (kind of) but some of her decision in the book were pretty terrible. I was rarely on her side, which made the book less enjoyable. As for the romance, it was a SERIOUS slow burn. Like, down to the last pages slow. And I wouldn't say I was that enthralled with the pairing either. As the book progressed, I got less and less invested in the relationship. It should be the other way around, right? I still liked the two These are my two major complaints, but overall this book was a fun read. It dealt with bi relationships really well, which I really appreciated. I read it in two days, which is fast for me. If you are looking for a light and quick read, this would be a good option.
