The Thing About Tilly by G Benson

4.0

Content warnings: heavy theme of pregnancy, alcohol, vomit, panic attack?, non-graphic sex, parental abandonment

“All this angst, for this?” — Evie


Rating undecided:
- 3 for the first half (ngl I was so angry at Evie and Tilly)
- 5 for the second half (pure joy; laughed so many times)
- 5 for the characters and awesome reps (bisexual, pansexual, genderqueer, aromatic, queerplatonic partner, half-Chinese, half-Indian, et cetera et cetera)

Initial Thoughts
- doesn’t read like a romance per se
- extremely frustrating communication issues between Evie Chen (31, pan, half-Chinese) and Tilly Reeves (32, bi)
- I love Sean (genderqueer, aromantic, half-Indian) and kinda wish this book was about him
- I also adore Evie’s mum, Tilly’s family, Cal, Luke, and almost all minor characters

Buddy read with Gabriella!
