Rep: Biseuxal/questioning female MC, sapphic girlfriend (who dies--not a spoiler in the synopsis), sapphic Jewish BIPOC love interest, asexual/questioning BIPOC female best friend, a couple other queer side characters and BIPOC side characters. MC's mother is alcoholic.
CWs: Alcohol consumption, alcoholism, biphobia--specifically an incident when a biphobic joke is made, child death, death, grief, misogyny, antisemitism, racism, outing--MC fears coming out and the implications of it, many internal and external conversations about it.

This is a story about agency, about a girl growing up and learning to make certain decisions for herself. The title is "Who I Was With Her" and I had assumed we would learn a lot more about "Her" (Maggie). Instead we have a lot more "I", following Corey's stress and fears, the way she feels like she has nothing to talk about with her friends because of this big thing she can't say... Ultimately the story is more about Corey learning to be her own person and not trying to fit what other people want, than it is about the actual girl who died. Corey's dreams were wrapped up in visions of them together in the college-bound future and now she has to figure out what she wants her life to look like when she's not running after someone else. I wish we knew more about Maggie, but ultimately the book isn't really about her, it's about who Corey was with Maggie, and who she's going to be after.
