This is not your typical queer romance novel - it is the journey of a 20 something over achiever finding her place in the world, and finding herself. With all the pretty and the ugly, the pain, and the fun, and the love. While portraying a love story s milar to the 2000s romcoms, it stays realistic in how the characters evolve and don't. I wasn't so sure about the book in the first half, because I found a lot of the relationships codependent and one would say toxic, but it all turned around in the second half. I adored the therapy and mental health representation.
This book is so important for every 20 something who grew up to be an overachiever and struggles to navigate their way in the aftermaths of academic pleasure and pressure.
