Georgina is the epitome of a "messy" protagonist and I don't mind messy characters at all, but when the plot starts to slide out of control and become messy too it feels like the story has lost its groundwork. It was also frustrating to watch the Georgina constantly lie to the people she cared about and treat them poorly; even when opportunities arose for her to tell the truth, she didn't take them. I guessed quite a few of the twists before they happened, but I did enjoy one particular thing (a date) that happened (and I'd been rooting for) right at the end.

Only thing which bothered me a bit, was that the main character was struggling with the death of their Dad and some panick attacks and I feel like a lot of authors use such background stories to give their characters depth. I know that writers are allowed to be creative and also that some of them actually share those experiences, but sometimes it makes me feel bad, because I feel like other people use those experiences somewhat instrumentally to paint a deeper character, which is just really hurtful for me personally. Does that make sense? I’m not sure whether I got my point across.
Anyways, the story made sense and in a lot of ways it was better than I expected! The main character was always hinting at their traumatic past and I already saw a plumb plot twist reveal, but everything evolved so naturally. And I was also positively surprised by the way the author treated the open relationship topic and the bad girl(/boy) trope! Some sequences seemed a forced for educational purposes, but I didn’t mind, because books are a good way to make readers reflect and it wasn’t to unnatural overall!
This book really took me on an emotional journey and I had the urge to write those feelings and expressions down, hence this loooong review… Maybe I should get a journal instead…

The main character being the same age (and similar name!) as me made me feel like I could connect with it more. It felt a lot more realistic as coming-out books tend to be centred more around teenagers rather than adults.
I loved the plot, the characters, everything. The character development is fantastic and the way the characters have their moments of realisation of exactly what they’re wanting out of life.
It’s such a light, easy, joyful read.
