There are no good variables to work with when the answer to the equation is other peoples' idea of perfection.
Another one where I liked the previous book in the series, liked the main and side characters, liked much of what was being addressed, but still didn't love the story or execution. Le sigh.
There's no age when people stop learning about their bodies.

A note about the sexual content: features a sexual awakening and admirably frank language and scenes of exploration as a character deprograms from the learned shame and inhibitions of purity culture Other content notes: in addition to the unplanned pregnancy trope, there's athebruce's review against another edition

The other weird thing is that the FMC has narcolepsy, which is interesting, and yet it seems to have little to no relevance really apart from a bizarre plot point about them meeting as youths, which is never really fully explored.
