Read this if you want a fun, heartwarming romance about an awkward and endearing woman who falls in love with a hot lesbian who hasn't washed in 40+ years. Overall, I think it was a cute, sometimes deep, book. I liked the side characters and their friendships with each other, and how queer the book was. Jane's character was written well, however at times I found it tedious to hear so much about her past because over time she started to become one of those cool people who you admire but can't relate to, and for some of the book she didn't feel like a real person, compared to August. This also added to the stark difference between them, as she was at rockstar status, and August was just trying to survive, so that made it hard to ship them in the beginning. However, I liked how real Jane became as the book progressed, hearing about the harder parts of her life like her upbringing. They felt so much more in tune and I enjoyed their relationship overall.
