CW: fatmisia (challenged), bi/pan erasure

I LOVED THIS BOOK. It’s a sapphic rom-com and it completely stole my heart.

It follows Abby, a fat pink-haired lesbian, and Jordi, a Mexican lesbian, as they navigate their fashion internship and new love. There’s also a great, dynamic friend group, a surplus of adorable outfits, and burgers. I honestly can’t express enough how much I loved it. While I’m not fat, I’m also an awkward lesbian with colorful hair, and in those ways, I could really relate to Abby. And this is random, but I liked that Jordi seemed aloof and wore almost all black but had a Hello Kitty obsession. I’m like that but with unicorns, and admittedly I don’t think a single person has ever considered me aloof. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I haven’t read a book so quickly in a while. Last night I was tempted to stay up until I finished the book, regardless of having school today. As soon as I finished my assignment in Spanish class, I continued reading this and had the biggest grin on my face nearly the entire time. I just couldn’t get enough of this book, these characters. I’ve always been a hopeless romantic, and lately I’ve realized that I love rom-coms. Make them queer and I’ll love them more. Make them sapphic and I’ll adore them forever. That was the case with this novel. I was in love from page one and that only grew as I kept reading.

If I had to have one criticism, it would be the ending. Abby and Jordi kissed and made up, and then it was basically over. For a book so short, their fight had a decent amount of page time. This is honestly a minuscule thing to criticize, but I wanted more of their adorable banter and kissing and just them in general.

I don’t really have anything new to say. I’m obsessed with this book, so if I keep writing I’ll just spew the same sentiment over and over. My point is, I love one fashion blogger and one photographer and their lesbian love story with all my heart. I can’t wait to buy my own copy and reread it and annotate it and recommend it to absolutely everyone because everyone needs cute gays in their lives. ❤️

Lastly, can we appreciate that the spine of the physical copy is a literal pride flag?! So aesthetic! So pretty! So gay! I approve!
