i read this book in one day. i really related to a lot of the themes here. taylor has a good voice in her writing.
i only wish that at the portions where there was overlap it had been omitted to avoid redundancy.
i thought ash and maya were really well written characters. i still am wondering is ash the girl maya saw on the train ?
anyway, this was one of the most accurate representations of coming to terms with sexuality and experiencing life with anxiety surrounding it. i related to both maya and ash in the sense that, it’s so scary to confront your own issues while being concerned about someone else’s.
i was sad when i saw they just didn’t work but that happens when you’re young and can’t confront problems.
this would’ve been a 5 if some of the overlapping writing didn’t feel repetitive. cant wait to read what else taylor puts out next x
