WOW. I learned more about lesbian culture and sex than I ever imagined while reading this book. I felt like I was on a journey along with Julia, and I appreciated the exploration of the good AND difficult parts of coming out to friends and family. I love that it was extremely sex positive and inclusive. (It didn't just include lesbians.) The writing style was also very entertaining, and there were several times throughout reading this book that I laughed to myself.

However, there is a very toxic relationship in here that makes up the main conflict of the book. While it was a very realistic depiction of manipulation and toxicity in a relationship, I found myself screaming at Julia through the pages and begging her to open her eyes. I appreciate the real, raw quality of what Julia went through, but wow. It took a lot for her to finally express awareness of what was happening and a desire to stop it.
