Holy sh*t I love this book so much. I’m mad at myself for not reading it sooner. Juliet is the queer brown icon I wish I’d had as a closeted queer youth. Watching her growth and struggle with defining both her queerness and her feminism resonated with me deeply and I wish those were internal struggles and self reflection that everyone (specifically white cis women) took the time to have. I saw myself in her and in the women around her. I don’t want to give too much away, but this book is worth all the hype and will forever hold a special place in my queer heart.
