Review:
I honestly really enjoyed this one! I liked the snarky banter and witty comments and honestly just the whole concept of this book! I feel Margo, having a manual on how to be queer would be super helpful, but I also know I would procrastinate the shit out of reading it so probably not much point. Also queerness isnβt really something to be learnt, Iβve found itβs much more of an experience and youβve kinda just gotta step on the party bus and see where it takes you!
I really liked Margo, her humour and perspective is really different to how I was expecting. But also Iβm not sure what I was expecting, itβs sad but Iβm pretty sure this was the second book Iβve read with autistic representation (I plan to read more). While Iβm not autistic myself, as a fellow neurodivergent I can appreciate the need to stim, also the overthinking as well, and the random word vomit about really cool random but fascinating topics. I have read mixed reviews about the autistic rep, lots of people with autism have different views, but I canβt comment on this personally :)
I just want to give Abi a big hug and tell her she is still a valid person even though no one in her life treats her as one. I love her character arc and her character development I honestly just love her. No other comments, she just speaks to the bi baby in me on levels even I donβt understand. Also her and Margo balance each other out so well itβs such a good match. Theyβre cute, itβs cute, itβs a cute queer romcom that definitely helped with the stresses of life.
There is a fair amount of biphobia in this book, and I honestly hadnβt expected that going in, I personally didnβt find it triggering, but it broke my heart and made me freaking angry, Iβve honestly never wanted to punch a fictional teenager more in my life (this is coming from the gal who refuses to kill spiders even though she is scared of them). There are also references to neglect and a couple of negative comments from side characters about autism.
For Lovers of:
- YA Coming of Age
- LGBTQ+ rep (Lesbian and Bisexual MC)
- Neurodivergent rep (Autistic MC and ADHD MC)
- Queer βlessonsβ
- Frenemies to Lovers
