I did find myself annoyed with a lot of things with this novel, therefore my review will probably be somewhat short and to the point. I received a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review and was very excited to read what looked to be a fun and honest love story between two girls and the apparent theme that opposites do attract.
It took me quite a while to get past the first few pages as I didn't really like the way it was written but it did grow on me quickly.
Pros of the story: a girl/girl romantic relationship. Literature needs to see more of that and less of the variation in which females who date one another are dehumanized or over sexualized for male audience. Thankfully, this was not the case in this novel. And to make it even better: one of our leads is bisexual, which is also often misrepresented or neglected.
I found the novel entertaining once I got to a certain point and I would definitely recommend giving it a shot. There needs to be much more books with LGBT themes within on the market and this is definitely a nice start to your collection.
