My favorite book. Very relatable characters (that might be because I'm a an angery ambitious Ace-spec person named milly who likes to crochet.)

Really enjoyed this! It was maddening to read how the girls were treated, but they took the haters down! I wish we'd gotten the perspective of the other girls, as I wanted to know they're motivations.

I did like that one of the main romances (it’s dual POV) was between two asexual sapphics! Some of the dialogue was just kind of... cringey. People don’t really speak aloud some of the things they say. There was also a character who went by she/they pronouns (Izzy), but I believe they were exclusively referred to with she/her pronouns unless I missed something.

Wow! This book is all the feminist amazingness I could have asked for! I feel like the writing could have been better, for example the author used the word said a lot, it got a bit repetitive. But other than that this book was great! It had so much representation and was just an easy, quick, fun read!

Enjoyed this book but it felt a little white feminist-y to me. Also wish I had been able to get to know more of the characters and not just Millie and Raina
