It’s a very well written book and I do genuinely recommend it with all my heart. However, it is not void of flaws. I strongly recommend seeking out some opinions from POC (especially Latinx and Black POC) about this book and how it talks about race before reading it.

i wish i could give this book more than 5 stars. it moved me. it made me laugh. it made me cry. it will stick with me forever. as a bisexual woman, it made me feel seen and known to know that evelyn was so adamant about being known as bisexual and not lesbian. she is two halves. not just one. i loved this book so so much. highly highly recommend.

This is one is a book that will stay with me for a long time. Evelyn is many things, some I see in myself. This book twists your expectations in ways you wouldn’t have guessed. The author makes Evelyn very complex, as she is many things, and at the end of it all…just human.
