wow. this was exactly the right book I needed to read at this season of my life. so many passages I will need to return to when I need comfort or encouragement to my soul.
so much of this book is just allowing yourself to be, and all of the metaphors that Glennon uses to illustrate and in courage growth will stick with me forever.
I read on audio, and it was incredible to hear the author read her own story. I’d also like to get the hardcover copy to make highlights, or to just show off the awesome cover!
This book would also make a great gift to anyone in your life, especially young adult women to hear the messages to denounce society’s ‘tamings’.

came for the cute queer love, stayed for the emotional roller coasters. the whole time I read this, ivy by taylor swift kept playing in my mind because it has a lot of parallels with this book. evelyn’s character was intriguing and intimidating, and the details of her life are so juicy and fun to read!

YA is definitely not my genre, but I would have LOVED this book in middle school! The story is really sweet, and most of the characters are likeable. There are a lot of current pop culture references that might age the book in a few years

even though this book was very short and I read it in one day, the story still felt like it dragged on. i love the friendship dynamic, that felt like the most honest and sweet part of the book. but what bothered me was that at the big reveal at the end, the main characters just strike me as shitty people.

reading this book was a joyful, funny, challenging and beautiful experience. with a premise as unique and such distinctive characters, every chapter was a wild ride. it made me cry a lot and i will be thinking about this book for a long time.

very quick to read with high stakes and engaging characters. a lot of scenes felt repetitive and some of the drag was frustrating for me to read, but overall it had a very satisfying ending and i enjoyed the twist!

new favorite book alert!!!!! not only was the plot so unique and engaging, but i genuinely cared for every single character! they were all fully dimensional and their personalities all complemented each other perfectly. i especially loved niko, the psychic roommate who added an interesting element!!
and the love story- goddamn. from the very beginning when she’s writing about all the little magical moments of a crush, to the progression of their relationship, to the later incredibly hot scenes that have been seared into my mind lol…… this book is fucking dreamy. i love it so much and it had the most satisfying ending and aghhhhhh i need to read it again
