This is a gorgeous book about life and love and how messy they are.

I'm just not clicking with the writing style or the MC at this point. I might give it another chance at some point, but for now I'm moving on from this.

Received advanced reader copy from publisher via Baker & Taylor book supplier.

When Lee’s boyfriend breaks up with her on their podcast and her boss asks her to “take a break” from her sound tech job, Lee’s life is sent into a spiral. Searching for purpose, next steps, and an answer to whether love really exists, Lee begins a new podcast and finds her old friend Max and new friend Risa have a lot to say about her life, love, and what comes next.

Sometimes a book is all about timing. I was definitely not in the mood for an angsty, my-life-sucks-and-my-parents-divorce-sucks-more novel. Was it good? Yes. Despite my mood, the author’s rock-solid writing and desire to know the answer to Lee’s question about her parents’ marriage kept me reading. The deep-dive into Lee’s life as a sound tech and podcast author is sure to peak the interest of other readers & keep them engrossed.

The representation was vast: nonbinary, bisexual, polyamory, and racial diversity. The story opens the door to thought, discovery, and discussion on all of those as well as parental divorce.

So queer, so messy, so honest. So much talk of art, podcasting, expectations, family, friendship, and of course, love. Absolutely adored seeing bi & poly representation and this is going on my favorites shelf for that reason.

The writing itself was pretty good, the story itself was decent, but the way it made me feel less alone was superb.

I wish I had this book as a teenager.
I wish I had been at a place in my life to know I wanted this book I my life as a teenager.
But mostly I am thankful I have it it my life now. Thanks for the untidy queer story, Mary McCoy.
