I love this book.
A friend of mine recommended it to me and at first I wasn't too sure whether or not I'd be into it since I usually stay away from YA novels, especially romances. But god. This book truly proved me wrong. I love Darcy's character and I love Brougham maybe even more. I laughed, I cried, and I couldn't stop smiling for hours after I had finished the book. I love all the different relationship dynamics in the book and how unique each one is. My favourite part, and the reason why I picked up the book in the first place, was the talk about internalized biphobia and bi-erasure. I don't think I have ever felt so seen by any book I have ever read.
