Yeesh, haven't read cringier book in a hot second. Stereotypication of every character is bordering on offensive but they are so one-dimensional that it's just boring and obnoxious. It doesn't even feel like a romance.

Go read Honey Girl instead. Still easy and cheesy read but at least it's worth the time.

i started reading the first pages and assumed that i would love it… yeah… not really. and i don’t know wether it’s because i am step ahead of the main character or if everyone lacks of something. as an indecisive bisexual myself it’s really frustrating to read some parts so sorry for everyone who had to deal with me but this story and character just didn’t appeal to me

I get that bi-erasure and biphobia were major themes of the book, but for me they were leant into far too hard to make that point. The first half was just plain uncomfortable for me to read as a bi woman myself, though it did get a bit better in the second half. Also, writing a book about how biphobia is bad and then having your bi MC steamroller her long-term boyfriend into an open relationship so she can sleep with women as well... it's a choice. 

Also, a lot of the characters in here were pretty unlikeable. It's a shame, because you don't see many books about questioning and coming out as queer from an adult perspective and I would have liked to be able to recommend one.

somehow it feels gay and homophobic all at once?? very talented? i didn't enjoy the writing style or the characters and i didn't feel it had a lot of substantial plot so i was disappointed i cant lie
