This book hit me in the heartstrings the way it talks about seeing one's worth in academia or productivity and struggling with mental health. It is simultaneously light and romantic in the main character's story with her partner she chaotically finds but also really heavy and emotional in her navigating her own sense of self worth. I would've given it a higher rating but I think the writing was a little simplistic for me, personally! There were times I wish a little more depth was given to characters rather than repeating descriptions that we've heard before, but as a debut novel it was really fantastic! Love the queer representation.
