This was fun! The pining and bi panic was a good time, and I love my some alternate pov. The theme of celebrity and what that means for privacy and identity was really well fleshed out, and so so heartbreaking 🥺

I struggled with the pacing/journey of this though. It just felt like it was a *constant* two steps forward, one step back. And when there was an argument or hurt, the apologies either felt more like excuses, or the wrong person was apologizing altogether. The resolutions of hurts just never quite felt complete.

Still a really fun time! Recommend for sure
