Thank you to Bookish First and Fierce Reads for an arc of this book.

Ophelia has always been known as the boy-crazy one of her friends, developing crushes and falling in love with the idea of people constantly. But when she finds herself thinking more and more of her friend Talia, she has to confront her own identity and decide if it is worth it to change when all her friends and family have always looked at her a certain way.

The themes in this book are absolutely everything!!! The questioning rep and the way Ophelia is so confused about who she is and how people see her...god, it was seriously just spot on. I love her narration and the way she deals with her friends and family and everything she is going through. The identity discussions in this book are so good! All of the characters are super three-dimensional and felt really real to me.

And then, when I already thought I couldn't love this book more, BAM, surprise ace rep in a side character...then BANG turns out another character is aro. So much queer! So much friend-love. So much self-discovery!

Sincerely--read this book. It's incredible.
