cw // past self-harm (mentioned), divorce
This was my most looked-forward to book of the year, and I can say without question that I was not disappointed. Adler did such an excellent job and had me so invested in both of Nat’s relationships so heavily, I could never even begin to even think of choosing a favorite between Adam and Elly. The amount of pop culture references was just right for a group of 17/18 year olds and I was THRILLED to see Nat having a group of queer friends in NYC, it made me so soft. Nat’s family being so accepting of her bisexuality was so beautiful, and I really enjoyed both her relationship with her dad and their neighbor, Adira, as well as seeing her relationship with her mom grow. What an amazing book.
