The book had some really good metaphors for getting through tough times in life. 

But for a YA book had too much smut.

I saw this book on booktok and have been so eager to read it ever since. I'm happy to report that it lived up to my expectations, such a great read. Lovable characters, gripping plot, sapphic girlies. What else could you need?

"I swam up, Violet. We both did."

a beautiful, lyrical, swimmingly fantastic novel. you can tell the author poured their heart into this book, into the achingly real and complex characters, into their relationships, and into the journey they undergo. it was difficult for me to read at first, painful and hitting too close to home, but that's the beauty of it, i suppose. i feel like a better person, more self-aware and more resilient, for the adventure this book took me on. even if the first half was painful and confusing, the second half was comforting and lovely.

"I'm saying our choices matter. Choosing to try... that's not a small thing."

i was hoping that violet, liz, and orion would become a cute poly trio but how it turned out with the girls was sweet nonetheless
