How do you condense your thoughts and feelings about a book and a character that feel like they've been plucked straight out of your own brain? How do I explain the extent to which I related to Imogen and how our experiences with queerness are the same to a literal T????? I genuinely felt like I was reading my baby gay self trying to figure it out and falling short (unfortunately, internalized biphobia and raging heteronormativity had hands for us both)!! Even though I was a little later to the party than she was, and I will forever grieve that I took so long, it was still like looking into a mirror and knowing that she'd be okay - because I was, and I am, and isn't that just such a gift!!
