This book is really short and there isn't that much text on the pages. Still this took me 10 days too read. I read love and other words in like 5 days, ans it's so much longer. 
But besides from that I liked that the author included polyamory and asexual rep, if not that well. (The book never mentioned the word asexual, for example).
The formating was weird, like it was trying to be a poem collection. I think it would have been better as a poem collection, since there were a few good qoutes and Laura Nowlins writing is really good, but the rest of the book felt unfinished.

Cannot remember how this crossed my reading path but I was intrigued by the muscial descriptions and the guerilla glitter-bombing.

This book reminded me of Cathy Cassidy books that I used to read when I was a young teenager, but the writing was not well developed and there was no plot. I was not the intended audience, as it seems more suitable for 10-14 yo, but I don't think the romance is explored in depth enough to be suitable for younger readers. While the concept of a polycule romance is not inherantly innappropriate, the shallowness of the connections don't represent the maturity that would be required for this type of relationship or include relevant discussions.

Not sure if the author was trying to write for purely entertainment, but it comes across as misleading for a young audience and a flippant approach to represent the LGBTQIA+ community.

This book was faced paced and easy to read. I would say this book is based on the characters and not really for a plot. But i still find it interesting. There were some good quotes in it, and the characters were fun to read about
