The Girls I've Been by Tess Sharpe
4.25
The Girls I've Been is a book about finding yourself, relying on others, and of course, a con artist in a bank robbery.
Okay so first thoughts. I loved the relationships in this. Both platonic, romantic and familial. I found it a really interesting experience how the author depicted her and Wes as X's but also really family.
The romance was also really cute even though it was already established so we didn't get to see too much of it before. Another thing that I really liked was how each of their characters were their own person, their own experience, even if they weren't necessarily central to the story.
At certain points I did end up feeling a little bored. A little lost. Not really there kind of. Didn't really ruin the experience but there were still those moments.
And okay, legit such a good part at the end here. "I would tear apart the world for you." "I'd burn the world for you" and they're best friends and interested in other people romantically and it's so perfect. Literally queer platonic maybe too codependent best friends??? So happy to see it.
