A review by jessienancy
Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko

2.0

Discussion of grief - amazing. Discussion of relationship with parents - well done. Discussion of romance and queerness - a little toxic, obsessive and unrelatable. Unfortunately, this made the book feel a little sour as I really just could not enjoy the romance between the two of them or the friendship group as a whole. The focus on weed and alcohol and mean friends just made me sad rather than uplifted. I so badly wanted to enjoy the romance, but I just could not help cringing a little and it making me feel uncomfy.
