ACE LESBIAN REP!!!!!!!!!
***Small disclaimer that because there are so few ace books currently, I am rating this 5 stars (couldn't decide between 4 or 5). That may change somewhere down the road when there are more options. But for now, this book is probably my favorite ace book so far.
I loved that we had a character discovering their queer identity as an ace lesbian. Asexuality is so under-represented in media and it's very misunderstood. This book shines a light on the spectrum of asexuality and that ace people can still have happy, healthy romantic relationships.
I also appreciated that the book was about more than Harper discovering her queer identity. Yes, it was an important part of the story, but there was so much more going on. This book is also about friendship, family, and finding what makes you happy.
Overall, I just really loved this book. On a personal level, I related to Harper so much. Being ace can be so confusing, especially because it is a spectrum and experiences can vary greatly. But I relate to Harper so closely and it was just so great to have that. This book will remain in my heart for a very long time.
