Took a bit to get started, but once it did hoo boy. This book is cute af, the predicaments believable, and the commentary smart as hell. Maybe if this had existed when I was younger I wouldn't have been forced into so many boxes. I love Sophie Gonzales's writing and can't wait for more.

I gotta say, I was expecting this story to go a totally different way and that’s not something one can often say about rom-com, especially one using common, typically formulaic tropes. And it is an even better story for it, in my opinion. I don’t want to give too many spoilers, but the discussion of attachment styles, and healthy vs. unhealthy behavior in relationships really fed the psychologist/social worker part of my soul. Also the bi representation and discussion of biphobia and bi-erasure was ridiculously spot on. The characters were flawed but still likable and even when they made (very) bad choices, I found myself still rooting for them.
Thank you NetGalley, author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

muy sex educación vibes, con una protagonista bisexual, me gustó harto cuando hablaron sobre la bifobia internalizada!! pero, lo encontré innecesariamente largo, perfectamente podría haber tenido 100 páginas menos y el final, predecible. Además, el personaje de Ainsley lo encontraba tan aburrido y de relleno :(

Se me hizo un libro muy lindo y realista a la vez con los temas que trata, como muchas veces nos ponemos obstáculos en la vida y nos cuesta quitarlos del camino.

También me gustó la escena donde se habla de la bifobia y como esta se disfraza la mayoría de las veces, pero está ahí.

Me gustaron muchos los protagonistas y como todo se dio poco a poco, que lindo.
