Super heavy topics covered beautifully. The story of Sandra is heartbreaking and Sarah did a wonderful job piecing it back together

This book was super funny, relatable, and informative. The way she presented the information was deep but also digestible. I particularly liked the chapters Gear Swap and What is an Abortion, Anyway?

Was a fun and engaging read. I didn’t like her relationship with Innan, he was a piece of shit with no backbone, following the ideologies of whoever he was nearest to, but overall I really liked the world building and the female characters

Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.
The writing was just awful and I couldn’t deal with it anymore. It was somehow worse than those satirical videos that make fun of YA writing styles or old fanfic writing styles

Weird that she got with her sons half brother but I guess she’s a goddess and she deserved him
other than that it wasn’t quite gay enough for me but still beautifully written
