i like the storyline, i like the characters, i like the love interest, the side characters, pretty much almost everything.
i found it a bit too slow-paced but im pretty sure that's just because of my lack of motivation.
sometime in the future i might get my own copy of this book, since i read one from the library, just so i can have it close to me in a sense an e-book doesnt make me feel. i want to annotate the parts i loved the most in an actual copy and put it on my shelf so i can open the book and read those parts again to give me hope that happy stories for us queer people do exist.
i hope to shine as bright as Liz does in this book. she is truly admirable and also i love her character development!
overall an amazing book, i recommend it to everyone out there looking for 'a smart, hilarious, black girl magic rom-com', as the backcover says.
halfway through i found that i didnt have the energy to actually finish this book but i really wanted to because i was invested in the story, so i put on the audiobook and listened to it as i read along in the book. this made it a lot easier for me to get through it as i often lack the motivation and energy to finish books i started. the narrator (Alaska) has a very beautiful voice and i loved her intonation throughout the book.
