Got an eArc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I really wanted to love this book because it's Sapphic, YA, snowy theme, funny, and more. I like all that in this book. I really do.
What troubles me is that some phrases or wordings I don't seem to like and feel like some people will feel offended, especially transgender people. The MC stated that she has zero interest or in F dicks because she's a lesbian. Not all who identify as a woman have no dick. Reading through this was a hit and miss and both.
I gave this three stars because it somehow made me laugh. But once I see someone say how problematic this book really is (I am confused right now because it might be me problem), I will be giving this 1 star.
