I think this book is being marketed in a <b>very</b> misleading way. It’s not ”a fun and sexy adventure” but instead a tale of abuse. It’s a realistic potrayal of how easy it is to end up in an abusive relationship. I think the author built the escalation of abuse very well and also the reasons why the main character stayed in the relationship.

A lovely, hilarious read, especially for those who ever questioned, or are currently questioning their sexuality. Not all queer books have humor or happy endings, but this has both! While at times the author portrays a somewhat unrealistic expectation for queer women, it's refreshing to read a story about a queer woman that isn't all about the angst. 5 stars and a new favorite!!

Started out being a really feel good coming out story that made me excited to live in London, but peaked there. Found the characters frustrating and slightly unbelievable.
