The Girls I've Been by Tess Sharpe

what absolutely chaotic bisexuals wow.
the relationships between all of the characters were well developed and beautifully written. somehow wish this had been two books, where we get all of the backstory of the characters (which was a little underexplored now, written against the main plot) and a different book with them all thrown into a bank robbery (which also lost a bit of the tension because we kept getting flashbacks, which i did enjoy and really do feel like they added a lot to the plot and made me understand the characters so much better, but didn't really help the bank robbery aspect feel tense or high stakes).
in short i just wanted more from both elements of the story, but not in a bad way, just in a 'pls let me spend more time with these characters because i love them' way.
and you know i'm an absolute sucker for found families.
