Thank you to Netgalley and Fierce Reads for an arc of this book.
Maggie is a mess. She's a little upset that she feels like such a bisexual stereotype, but she knows that people can be a little messy. In an attempt to understand herself better, Maggie creates a private instagram to post photography of the three people she might have feelings for so she can hopefully figure her crap out--and ace her art project. Everything gets--messy. Will she be able to sort herself out in time for her sister's quince?
This was so fun and refreshing and wild and I really loved it. Maggie is a great character! I often feel like a disaster pan/queer, and I really related to a lot of the struggles she was having throughout the book. I also really liked her friends, sisters, and other supporting cast! Maggie's photography was such an interesting feature and it felt like she was a real person that I was really rooting for throughout the book.
She definitely messed up at times, but I thought the deep-talks with her friends to really figure out what was going on were super satisfying and really showed the two sides that need to take responsibility in most arguments. Yes, Maggie was messy, but hey, all people are, and that was a great theme of this book.
I loved it! Such a fun read!
