this was fun, easy to consume and a palette cleanser, which i really needed honestly.

there were moments where i thought, while the plot centres on bette somewhat reinventing herself and reliving her youth by going on dates bc she's recently come out, i did think the actions/thought process of other characters, mainly ruth, were quite childish? and in those moments, i didn't feel like it matched the adult book.

i am ash, and ash is me.

it felt, for the most part, very real and honest. as though bette were bearing her being to the readers which i enjoyed. i did think the overly descriptive language, and clauses in every other sentence, boarded on the excessive side. ultimately, it was fun, but i don't think i'll remember it in a couple months time.
