Such a joy of a book. Funny, lighthearted, with a great friend group and a distinct & memorable voice in our main character, Ophelia. I loved the literary references, the discussion around sexuality and acceptance, and that it's not a perfect ending where everyone gets what they want, but everyone grows and discovers things about themselves along the way. I loved Ophelia's relationship with her parents and her little friend group, though I think some of the characters could have been better developed. I also would've wanted some more exploration of hard hitting topics but obviously this is intended to be a lighthearted book. So happy I picked this one up - plus the cover is gorgeous, I could stare at my copy all day long!
