A review by last_page_ache
Educated by Nellie Wilson
Declan and Phoebe are my beautiful and chaotic bi disasters as we bisexuals almost always are. And also Millennials? Our struggles are endless and Nellie knows it! Her stories are always realistic and it is such a breath of fresh air to see a couple talk about sex and have good communication. It feels like we are taking a look in their life and just following them on that journey and not like watching some near impossible fairytale play out. Once again - refreshing! I saw a lot of myself in Phoebe and her insecurities and not asking for what I want especially in the workplace. Declan was such a sweetheart and as Phoebe said it - everyone should have a Dec in their lives! It was so nice to see the characters we read about before and it is impossible to be without them because Phoebe's friends play a huge role in her life.
This is honestly a 3.5 read for me but I am putting off rating it yet because I feel it is a me thing and not a book thing. Like, I felt it dragged on at times and there was no real conflict (I like no conflict between characters but like almost nothing happens idk but then again maybe I was at that stage mentally where I needed a bit of something) and the constant mentions of Phoebe smoking weed gave me the ick. Like once or twice yes okay, she is neurodivergent, and I guess it helps? But it was mentioned in almost every chapter and there are A LOT of chapters.
