Reviews with content warning for Biphobia - Imogen, Obviously

The basic plot of the book is very gripping. There’s just a lot of cringey “discourse” about queerness. I understand that’s kind of the point. To challenge conventional thinking about it all, but it seems a little soap box-y. It’s just such a large part of the book, when it could definitely be smaller. There’s also a LOT that happens that is unnecessary and doesn’t really further the plot.

This book fits in a warm, fuzzy space between Heartstopper, Meryl Wilsner’s books, and Casey McQuiston’s books. It’s a solid, engaging, coming-of-age story to which many bi folks will relate (and, for those who are not bi, provides a great window into the tricky things about being bi). It’s the rare YA in which I was borderline upset there was no epilogue. I also would not be upset at all if there were more books in this universe: the supporting cast is delightfully interesting and I would like to spend more time with them.

Definite bonus points for the ADHD rep as well.

This is one of the books younger me would have needed in her life.
Imogen, your brain and mine work in similar ways. A very cute and very self-reflecting story.
