Thanks to FierceReads for the eARC of this book!
I like what this book stands for. I like what it shows; I like the subjectivity of sexuality. I like that it means different things to different people and that you don’t have to define yourself as one term, one word. It’s all about just being the you that you need and want to be.
But… I didn’t really like the characters. I thought there were too many main characters. You have Ophelia, Sam, and Agatha. Then there’s Lindsay. Then, Wes and Talia. And Zaq. How many main characters do you need in one book? It was a lot to take in everyone. My favorites were Wes and Ags; they were the most relatable. I did not like Talia at all…. Maybe because O kind of overhyped her?
So, ultimately I settled at a middle of the road rating. I think this book will appeal to a lot of teens who NEED a book like this. Something to tell them it’s okay to not have everything figured out. I can’t wait for those readers to enjoy this book. This just wasn’t the book for me.
