Imogen, is the #1 queer ally and she is from a small community in upstate New York and is Jewish and comes from a progressive family. When she goes to visit her best friend, Lily on campus she is tasked with being her best friend’s ex and while pretending to be bi she begins to realize that she might actually be bi. She has been having a lot of feelings about it but she always has shut them down because its not like the “queer knowing/awakening” that her friends have had so she has always shut that part of herself off. I loved the discussions that happen in this book related to coming out and to terms with being queer and how each persons story will look different.
