I haven’t seen biphobia handled like this before and it was so refreshing. Such an important bi main character that I feel like can be important to so many bi people out there. Even to me, a panromantic person, this felt like a warm hug.
It was very obvious in this book that Sophie is a psychologist. I saw a lot of views/facts in this book that I recognise as a newbie psychology student. Loved that those psych aspects were integrated and it made me connect even more with the story.
Sometimes the teen drama got a bit too much for me though, which just weighted heavy on my chest. I feel too much and those stupid teens do too, and then they make stupid decisions and I’m just sad alongside with them. So yeah, that took me down a bit sometimes. But I ended up loving most of the characters anyway, especially Brougham. He’s such a sweetie, please be my friend.

One of my favorite things about this book is the way that Darcy's thought process was shown. It was very interesting to see her handle the moral conflicts thrown her way, and it really made me reflect on my own life. She also learned more as time went on, so we got to see her perception of people (and herself) change. We also got to see her struggle with her internalized biphobia, and I really loved how that sensitive subject was handled.
I will warn everyone about the use of the infamous miscommunication trope. I personally didn't mind it, but it was a big part of a few of the conflicts throughout the story, so if you are a miscommunication hater- consider this my warning.
I loved this book so much that I can't truly capture all of the things I enjoyed about it. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who loves ya romance, especially to anyone who loved the To All the Boys I've Loved Before books, like myself. SO CUTE!!!
