Sapphics who would adore Chappell Roan have life-altering problematic situationships. What else is there to say besides it slaps?
Also I have to disagree with everyone who rated this low because the relationship had cheating, this isn't a romance there's a reason it ends with them separated. This is about a situationship where Aria discovers her queerness through someone older (already questionable), but it ultimately fails and I for one find that a lot more raw and relatable (not all of us end up with our first queer crush/situationship nor should we) and applaud Malinda Lo for it. Also she was not a homewrecker because Steph lied to her about being poly.
