What a beautiful book!
Being Irish descent, queer, from London, a bitter corbyn-era mid twenties gal & having recently moved out of London I felt like I probably was a good target audience 😅😅 but fr it was really nice to see a book with cultural references that were entirely relatable
A wonderful explortion on desire Vs instinct particularly through the lens of queerness & normativity. the balance of what you should do to be "cool", what you should do to meet life's "milestones" and what you actually want (as difficult as that may be to decipher given all the internal and external expectations) and how impossible it is to make all those things work at once
I loved the complicated friendship of Maggie & Phil . Rosaline's character was heartbreaking - take up space!!!!! How she was more like Phil than he really knows. I could go on and on but 5⭐
