This book was such a fun read, filled with twists and turns, completely out there while still being painfully relatable!
I’ll admit that at the start I didn’t really like Georgina, and much preferred the side characters, but as the story went on she really grew on me and we saw the whole cast as the flawed, well-rounded characters that they are. What this book did really well is capture that coming out experience for so many bisexual people, especially what it’s like when you start to participate more in the wider community. It felt almost painfully true to life, and the ‘double-life’ idea was such a good way of demonstrating what it can feel like.

As well as touching on some more serious topics such as grief and mental health, the story was fun, relatable and fresh. I laughed, I cringed, and I put my head in my hands as Georgina tried to navigate these two, seemingly separate worlds. I wouldn’t necessarily count it as a ‘romcom’, as it’s marketed, but it’s definitely a ‘com’ with the main character trying her best at the ‘rom’.
This is a great addition to the growing list of bi books, and I’m sure it will mean a lot to a lot of people as soon as it hits the shelves.
Thank you to the publishers for providing me with a free copy for review. All opinions are my own.
