This book was way different than I expected it to be! I thought this was going to be more of a feel-good romcom, but it really wasn't. It's more of an exploration about what it's like to be on the outside of a...not typical love story. This also deals with chronic illness! I really enjoyed this and liked the turns it took. I thought the main character was a little annoying at times and that the pacing dragged a bit in places, but overall was a great read!

a bingeable new adult book, with queer women trying to find themselves and their place, and navigating life and new adulthood
i thought it was going to be a low rating for the first half. however, i enjoyed the directions it took and the conversations it has at the end deeply resonated with me.
I really enjoyed the cast of only queer women (with the exception of parents). The characters are not loveable and their relationships are unhealthy at first, but their arcs do get them there (at least for the main characters).
The representation of disability and the discussions of monogamy/non-monogamy was well-done and felt refreshing to read a different type of love story.
The story slowly delves into conversations on finding your path, both in life and love, and how that is different for different people or happens at different times, which i think will resonate with many people!
