I loved the journey Juliet takes in this book to start to discover herself. The reason for 4 stars and not five— sometimes too much explanation with definitions and Harlowe was unbearable as a character and it was hard to deal with her nonsense
Loved the relationship between Juliet and her cousin Ava

Pace-wise, the book definitely ebbed and flowed; I found myself almost bored at times because of how slow it was going. There is no real plot, there's not really a genuine beginning-middle-end with a conflict-resolution storyline, it's just vibes. I typically don't enjoy all vibes-no plot books, however, I did enjoy this.
The characters were very lovable, and it was definitely very focused on characters, I feel like hearing all of Juliet's internal monologue was really endearing and I loved her a lot! She was a really lovely character, and her little quirks, like her big boobs and her inhaler, came up often and it was lovely to see her grow and shift her perspective while sticking to her values the whole time.
It was overall a very sweet book! It picked up pace like 1/3 of the way through, and although there wasn't really a plot, it was easy going from there.
Side note, I think this book would have been a little inappropriate for a genuine YA audience because there is so much weed.

this book is really heavy-handed on the preachiness and that discolors it a little for me. the back of the book promised romance and the romance was a very very small part and was not the kind of romance i was hoping for (more of a fling than anything and damn did juliet fall in love with every lesbian she met). but, as much as it wasn't my favorite book in the world, i also recognize it wasn't written for me. i can see the person it was written for and i'm glad they have it.
