Where was bisexual representation like this when I was a closeted teenager? I’ve been out for years but reading this book took me right back to how it felt to fall in love with my queerness. Astrid and Jordan are cute and awkward and frustrating and incredibly perfect. Getting to know Astrid in “Delilah Green Doesn’t Care” and then seeing her truly come to life in this book was such a joy. Wow wow wow. Just wow. I’m so grateful there are stories like this for bi’s like me 🥺

I liked this better than Delilah Green, and also I'll admit my expectations were probably more realistic.  At least this one has significantly less cringe scissoring scenes! But genuinely, I am a sucker for millennial girlie struggling with her career and family of origin trying to fall in love and get her shit together books and this is no exception. And I even like Jordan
despite the fact she's kind of whiny and wtf was the sudden reveal that Meredith was actually alive and just a bitch??? Idk I'll give Jordan credit because Meredith is the Big Bad

Ok so these books just don’t miss, huh? The banter, the character development, the spice?! 🌶️😅 Five stars all around. 

I love Astrid. I loved her even in the first book when she was cast almost like a villain. She deserves a happy ending (in every sense) and some goddamn joy and FREEDOM. I’m so happy for her! Jordan was a little harder for me to love, probably because the things that I dislike the most about myself, I saw in her 🙃 She is so good for Astrid, though! 

Continuing my Enneagram typing of the Bright Falls characters - Jordan gave me major 4w5 vibes. I maintain that Astrid is a 1w9, Claire a 9w1, Delilah an 8w9 and Iris a 8w7. 

Really looking forward to jumping into Iris Kelly next, but first I’m off to spend the rest of the evening on Etsy hunting for a very specific type of necklace 😏
