This book drew me in and was a quick read for me! Imogen's uncertainty and people-pleasing was highly relatable. I loved how her arc developed throughout the book as she figured stuff out, learned to stop listening to Gretchen's rigid views of queerness, and began to accept being accepted by Lili's college friends group. 

Two complaints: lots of pop culture references made the story less immersive for me, and the latter portion of the book sped along a bit too quickly!
