Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book was interesting, and it's a bit hard to describe what kind of book it is. The formatting was actually really consumable, the different points of view portrayed as auditory interviews. This made the pacing quick and the layout of the plot well done. Admittedly though, I was frustrated by how long it took to find out what happened. Once I got 50% in and knew what happened and then learned the heavier parts of it - I was invested. However, any book that takes that long for me to get invested... feels eh to me.
This book tackles the incredibly complex subject that is biphobia and the experiences of queer femmes who date cishet men while showing the viewpoints of those who participate in said biphobia. I feel like it did this well, however, at times it did feel a little "much"- like identities were more important than plot, at times.
