I *really* enjoyed the book. Maybe because I'm >!bi !<and connected with some points on Evelyn figuring herself out, definetly because I like her relationship with Harry as it's so rare for me to find books that >!can depict a purely platonic relationship between oposite genders.!<

The monique storyline bored me though, I read them quite fast because my interest was on what was happening with Evelyn. I also agree that it's a simple book, fast to read and with basic prose. >!(oh and also agree that the main relationship is not all cute and romantic, Celia is quite biphobic and never refused to make Evelyn feel like shit because of being Bi, but I wasn't reading it wanting a cute fluffy relationship)!<

But that doesn't make it a bad book for me. I enjoyed the story, found the characters interesting and it did have a lasting impression on me as I think trough some parts of the book every now and then. For me it was worth the hype, as I wouldn't have known about it otherwise (it's quite different from what I usually read)

Not all books are for everyone though.

I agree. I liked that part of the story actually, the need of being categorized can feel claustrophobic. It made a lot of sense and resonated.
