Follow Your Arrow by Jessica Verdi
4.0
I loved this book! Super well written with a likeable (though at times annoying but weren't we all at 16) protagonist. Featuring positive, nuanced and realistic bisexual representation. Cece is an influencer who just got broken up with by her girlfriend of two years. She finds herself kind of flailing after her first heartbreak, and her concerns about keeping her followers happy. When she meets Josh things become a little complicated because he is anti social media. Nevertheless, it is a very cute, very gay book that tackles biphobia directly! I loved how the writer treated the content matter with kindness as well as honesty.
Pros:
POC characters
LGBTQ+ characters (bisexual rep, lesbian, rep, trans rep)
Likable characters (except for her asshole of a dad)
A well written fleshed out character
A complex depiction about influencer culture, social media, parasocial relationships and online accountability culture.
Cons:
A bit repetitive
There are moments when Cece slips into that annoying liberal white girl who tries to hard.
Honestly about 30 pages too long, seemed like a lot of filler
Nevertheless, Tehn out of ten would recommend.
