My first read of 2024! 🎉
Was this cheesy, chaotic, and a bit predictable? Yes. But was it also cute, relatable, and enjoyable? HELL YES ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚
This was so good!! I loved the various queer rep in here. Panromantic ace MC? Pansexual LI? Plus sapphics and gays as minor characters? I loved it 😠I also loved reading Joy's experience and perspective as a disabled, fat, and queer person. I also loved how this showed having a good queer community and support system is important, especially for queer youth.
As for the story, this was light and funny, but also touched upon serious topics. I do feel like some parts were rushed, especially the end. And I kinda wish the story dove more into these serious aspects? But hey, I still had a good time and I enjoyed reading this a lot. 🥺
