This is not your typical queer romance novel - it is the journey of a 20 something over achiever finding her place in the world, and finding herself. With all the pretty and the ugly, the pain, and the fun, and the love. While portraying a love story s milar to the 2000s romcoms, it stays realistic in how the characters evolve and don't. I wasn't so sure about the book in the first half, because I found a lot of the relationships codependent and one would say toxic, but it all turned around in the second half. I adored the therapy and mental health representation.
This book is so important for every 20 something who grew up to be an overachiever and struggles to navigate their way in the aftermaths of academic pleasure and pressure.

I think I love this book more every time I read it. The now-familiar story beats are comforting, but the humour and heart of the story always feel fresh.

The premise of this story was funny to me, but the story itself was much sadder than I anticipated. I wish we got a little more backstory about the characters before the events of the book, though the intimacy of all their relationships were so clearly illuminated.

such a sweet read 💗 i loved getting to see Grace’s growth as she begins to reckon with her mental health, career aspirations as a Black queer woman, and relationships to her family, friends, and WIFE(!!). i related to sooo much of what she was feeling regarding disappointing yourself + others and being able to change your course. there were a few dynamics i didn’t love, but i feel like they were mostly worked out??

In a world where two beautiful women wake up to find out that they had gotten drunkenly married in Las Vegas, while only having met the night before! This was such a thrill to read!

Overall, this is a super cute, sapphic read! Definitely, such a great way to kick off this year's pride!!

This book was absolutely gorgeous. A quick read that was deep, philosophical, full of prose, representation, and love. I highlighted more quotes in this book than I have in a really long time. 

This book has mixed reviews on GR, but I think it’s perfect for anyone trying to find their way in the universe. Absolutely loved reading this. It made me feel all the things, and was truly so beautiful.
