The representation of LGBTQIA+ women is a big driving factor to this book, and showed a few different types of relationships from monogamous to polygamous. The main character wasn’t relatable to because she’s mourning the death of her best friend when she finds somebody else to fall in love with, almost in a “oh, new shiny thing” kind of way. I finished this book in a day simply because I didn’t want to dedicate multiple days to this, as the interesting characters didn’t get that much time, multiple questions were left at the end of the book, and the world building was lacking.
