This did not hold up to 14 year old me’s memory but I did enjoy it and I will be continuing with this series to see what happens!! I’ll always hold a special place in my heart for this being the first sapphic book I intentionally picked up.
One major gripe: the writing fell flat for me. I felt like there were a lot of moments that were meant to be impactful, but just didn’t translate and came off as cliche instead.
I really enjoyed the romance and most of the characters. Although, I do wish there were more distinct personalities in the Paper Girls other than Wren and Lei.
For a book so heavily tied to themes of sexual assault, it still managed to be tinged with hope and a righteousness that I truly admire. I really can't wait to see where everything goes!
