Absolutely loved the start of the book, and that i would give 5 stars. The ending loses one star, since i think there was a bit too much going on. If the book was just about Eartha, Rose, and Mona, dating girls for the first time, trying to find yourself after coming out, then i would have loooved the book. When all the shit went down in the last 1/3 of the book, i lost the one star.
+ Bisexual representation and great examples of biphobia that was easy to relate as a bi girl.
+ Non-binary character!! Always love that!
+ You could feel Florence through the book. The music, the apartment, the pink hair.
+ Shows just how toxic social media can be.
+ The descriptions of depression were extremely accurate.
- Director's notes felt a bit out of context for the book.
- Ending felt a bit rushed and many characters just got left out from the story.
- The sexual assault storyline felt a bit rushed and the fact that it was just hinted and not actually said out loud made if feel a bit weird.
I forgot that the book was set in 2030 and actually didn't make any difference to the story that i just thought it was a 2023 but in alternative universe where Instagram is Wonderland, Tinder is Fire and London is Olympia.
I will be reading the new book that comes out next.
