  I think that for a YA book, the topic of bi erasure and biphobia (internalized and not) was handled nicely. However, I have realized that I would like to read a book about this topic, but with more nuance and depth and less in a Tumblr-post style.
  As for the characters, my favorite was Brougham for sure, with Darcy herself closely behind. She had her bad moments, but also some really cool ones. Also, for someone who was running a relationship advice business, she really was clueless when it came to herself.
