If You Still Recognize Me by Cynthia So
3.5
EARC from NetGalley. All opinions my own.
If You Still Recognize Me is about Elise, a bisexual British-Hong Kong teen, just trying to make it through the summer between secondary school and university. There is a lot going on in her life as her grandma is visiting for the first time in eight years, she’s trying to find a job, crushing on her fandom friend, and her childhood friend reappears after years of radio silence.
I really enjoyed this book! I felt it was able to juggle all of the aforementioned plot points really well and all contributed to Elise’s character development. I did want more between Elise and her friend, Ritika, because I feel some things weren’t fully hashed out.
I loved how queer so many of the main characters were and how they all are queer in different ways. Each character is at a different stage in their queer journey; there are old and young queer characters and some are completely out to family, some aren’t at all.
I enjoyed this book and rated this book 3.5 stars!
