I really liked the premise for this book. I haven't really read a book like it. The author could've just written the fake autobiography of Evelyn Huego, but it wouldn't have been nearly as compelling. Even though Monique's role in the book was relatively small compared to all of Evelyn's story, it was essential and kept the book engaging. On top of this, the book is a charming queer romance that explores the unique experience of bisexuality and the vitalness of found family.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. A great beach/poolside read in the summer and a pretty fast read, too. 

Had a lot of tropes packed in it, but most if not all were done really well!

Even made me tear up at a few points. Had enough plot twists to keep it interesting.

Taught me to grab life by the balls.
