2.5 stars.

the good: all characters are really well-developed. there are great discussions about the concept of virginity and sexual freedom. and this book pretty much burns heteronormativity to the fucking ground. this is the first time i’ve read a book with an all-round queer cast and i loved that.

the not-so-good: i’m still confused about many, many things. i guess that’s why there are going to be sequels lol or maybe i missed something because i skimmed all of the sex scenes, with leads us to—

the bad: sex sex sex these people only think about sex all the time and it was just too much for me. definitely a case of me the asexual trying—again—to read erotica and—again—not getting it. but i wanted to mention it, because that’s what weighted the most on my rating. if sex doesn’t bother you, consider my rating bumped up to 4 stars.

i might pick up the second book, only because i’m too damn curious about what happened between two of the characters. i need to know.
