Old Enough by Haley Jakobson
5.0
I’m having a hard time pinpointing what I loved about this one, because I genuinely think I loved every aspect of it.
I felt really connected to every character and every moment of this story and felt myself afraid to finish because I didn’t want to be without them.
This is a beautiful love story to queer friendships, an incredible representation of outgrowing old friendships and the heartbreak and grief that comes with that, a really powerful story of trying to heal from sexual assault, and the nuances that come with a lack of education and resources and the messed up system that influences our ability to know that we’ve been assaulted, and honestly so much more.
My personal favorite character was our queer witch, Vera, favorite element was a lovely gender studies class, and loved pretty much every scene where Sav realizes she has incredible friends that I wish were mine.
I don’t know that I’ll ever forget this one, I can already see myself rereading it very soon.
Content warnings for sexual assault and rape, depictions of PTSD, alcohol use, friendship breakups, biphobia & homophobia, and probably a few others i’m forgetting.
