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!!

This book was such a fun read, filled with twists and turns, completely out there while still being painfully relatable!
I’ll admit that at the start I didn’t really like Georgina, and much preferred the side characters, but as the story went on she really grew on me and we saw the whole cast as the flawed, well-rounded characters that they are. What this book did really well is capture that coming out experience for so many bisexual people, especially what it’s like when you start to participate more in the wider community. It felt almost painfully true to life, and the ‘double-life’ idea was such a good way of demonstrating what it can feel like.

As well as touching on some more serious topics such as grief and mental health, the story was fun, relatable and fresh. I laughed, I cringed, and I put my head in my hands as Georgina tried to navigate these two, seemingly separate worlds. I wouldn’t necessarily count it as a ‘romcom’, as it’s marketed, but it’s definitely a ‘com’ with the main character trying her best at the ‘rom’.
This is a great addition to the growing list of bi books, and I’m sure it will mean a lot to a lot of people as soon as it hits the shelves.
Thank you to the publishers for providing me with a free copy for review. All opinions are my own.

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.
