Last book of the year that I finished on the train.
This was cute and fun. I think it read just a little too young for my liking. But if you're a baby sapphic, I think this would very much hit the spot. The MC really struggling with her sexuality intertwined with her late mother who will never know her was quite moving. She really tries to live the idea that her mom had of her when her mom was still alive.
I do think there was a lot of summary in this book where I would have liked more scene. I would have liked more expansion on the relationship with her dad for example. There are a few scenes like that, but I feel like it didn't really satisfy me enough at the end to believe they'll make substantial changes to their relationship.
Took a bit to get into but overall read really fast. There were, I think, a few times where I did not get the Americanisms or the references to things just flew over my head.
It was a nice sapphic read to end the year on. That's good enough for me.
