Got an eArc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book is for those who are scared to let people in but want to be loved. For those who are unknowingly self-sabotaged and, hopefully, try to get away from that toxic cycle. And lastly, for those who need convincing "that some things are too spectacular for fear."
- Yes. The quoted line is from Alison Cochrun's acknowledgements in the book 'Kiss Her Once For Me.'
Y'all! Shut up! I- this... IT'S FULL OF QUEERNESS, AND I LOVE IT!
The times I silently screamed and laughed while everyone was asleep were hard to count. I love the angst between the main and side couples. I also can't remember how many times I said in my mind, "JUST BE TOGETHER!" And then realizing I want more. And if they are with each other, the story will be short. This book made me happy cry and sad cry, and a mix of both.
I love the characters. I love the writing style. I love the plot. I love the representation of the ace spectrum/demisexual. I love the gender representation. I love the mentions of aromantic. I love the talks about attractions to people. I love the jokes about lesbian stereotypes. I love the lesbian transgender representation. I love the bisexual representation. I love the idiotic declaration of love that made me laugh so hard with tears falling from my eyes. I LOVE absolutely everything (of course, the exemptions are those sh*t characters and stuff).
CW: Parent Abandonment, Toxic Relationship, Anxiety, ADHD, Mentions of Racism, Bisexual Erasure, and Cheating (search it up for more specifics or correct CW as mine is what I thought is triggering while I read it)
