OH. MY. GOD. I TOTALLY LOVE THIS BOOK!!! I can relate to this book. It's about this Hispanic woman (19) named Juliet who leaves her home to go to an internship, coming out to her family right before leaving. She stays with this queer woman who is running the internship. Juliet goes through a lot during this time, but she ends up being a confident proud woman. SPOILERS!!!
I don't like how Juliet falls in love with this woman named Kira and at this point she knows Kira likes her back but Juliet kisses this woman she doesn't even know. (Literally,she knows nothing about this woman. All she did was cut Juliet's hair and they both thought the other was cute or what ever.) Also, Juliet feels bad after Harlow publicly does something practically racist and offensive so Kira brings her to her house. After talking and a couple of kisses, Kira gets a shower ready for Juliet. They end up having sex in the shower. Listen, they don't know each other that much and they haven't known each other for super long so I thought that was weird.)
