One thing I hate most about reading is when you have high hopes for a book and then it doesn't live up to them. But that means there's also an opposite to that: when you pick up a book that interests you but that you don't have high expectations for, and it ends up being really good.
That was my experience with this book, and I loved it so much. It has so many amazing conversations, about being bi and biphobia, about social media and dealing with it in a healthy way, and so on.
One criticism is that while this book talked quite a lot about politics, it didn't really address CeCe's privilege as a white, cis, abled person. While she has good reasons to want to keep politics out of her social media initially, it's still a privilege to be able to do so, and I would have liked to see that addressed.
I did however really like CeCe, and I think she went through a lot of character development. Plus, I really loved the love interest in this book.
