I loved the queer representation and this idea of finding yourself and your sexuality. It had its moments but I wasn’t a complete fan of the representation and the ending. I would still recommend it if you’re part of the queer community.

A gorgeous romcom this book follows our MC Georgia/ George as they come to terms with their sexual identity, what will come of their current relationship and to a degree their life as a whole.  

Mid 20s and in a long term relationship G works as a piano teacher at a private school and runs on a strict schedule.  
Despite this this book explores and discusses so many important topics, from homophobia and biphobia to grief. 

I was on the edge of my seat waiting to know what would happen next and the journey was made all the more better with the amazing representation and discussions of representation and accessibility as a whole within the book.

5.0

Still really recovering from all the questioning my morale this book did on me - which for me is a sign of a very good book. I loved that Georgina can be unlikeable at times and you get angry at her decisions, I wrote so many annotations figuring out what I think would be a better choice or what would be a solution. Also, I absolutely loved Rudy. Like. Full-on obsessed. Also enjoyed the point the book made that some people are not meant to stay in your life forever, even if they were important for a big part of it (big Diane Nguyen flashbacks). Overall really recommend!!

I absolutely adored this book!

The main character being the same age (and similar name!) as me made me feel like I could connect with it more. It felt a lot more realistic as coming-out books tend to be centred more around teenagers rather than adults.

I loved the plot, the characters, everything. The character development is fantastic and the way the characters have their moments of realisation of exactly what they’re wanting out of life.

It’s such a light, easy, joyful read.
