georgiesutton's review against another edition
4.5
I will say this book is not without its flaws but I had a really fun time reading it. I found it very pacy and whizzed through it because I wanted to find out what would happen.
I found the writing style and characters made me suspend disbelief which I think is needed because this is a ridiculous queer romp. There are some uncomfortable stereotypes and comments made, but overall I enjoyed the characters and the fact that Georgina’s decisions all blew up in her face because she deserved that after lying, keeping secrets and cheating.
I liked the ending because the whole premise is kind of
Spoiler
who will she end up with and then it’s neither but I’m glad it was Cara but we don’t go any further than a glimpse. I did find it ridiculous her own mum let her go four YEARS feeling guilty about her father’s death and punishing herself all that time.Moderate: Biphobia, Panic attacks/disorders, Outing, Infidelity, Death of parent, and Vomit

Georgina is the epitome of a "messy" protagonist and I don't mind messy characters at all, but when the plot starts to slide out of control and become messy too it feels like the story has lost its groundwork. It was also frustrating to watch the Georgina constantly lie to the people she cared about and treat them poorly; even when opportunities arose for her to tell the truth, she didn't take them. I guessed quite a few of the twists before they happened, but I did enjoy one particular thing (a date) that happened (and I'd been rooting for) right at the end.
Moderate: Outing, Biphobia, Death of parent, and Panic attacks/disorders

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.
