Don't go in blind like I did, take a good look at the warnings and know that they are there for a reason.
The beginning of the book felt, at times, like reading an early 2010s Tumblr user's ed blog, calorie diary and all. This is of course only the starting point for some... interesting developments... but it's pretty intense nevertheless. Once you get through that, you're in for the WLW romance, mommy issues, and an interesting perspective on navigating queerness and politics from within an Orthodox Jewish family environment.
Physically I was on a train while listening, but emotionally I was on a rollercoaster.
