The original is one of my favorite books. As excited as I was to read this, it just fell flat for me. An okay introduction (and I might have enjoyed it more if I’d read this first), but the original is so much better!

I’m normally not a fan of slower paced books, but, damn, the story was captivating! I had hard time predicting anything, and what little I thought I knew, I was completely wrong. What a cool concept! I can’t wait to check out more by this author.

Could not stay engaged. May try again at another time with a physical copy. Love the premise, though!

challenging informative inspiring medium-paced

Fantastic book for any gender despite its moniker. It definitely can come off as a bit white-privileged, but I thought there was a lot of great info and anecdotes (this coming from a queer cisgender white woman, so take that as you will). 

Fangirl Down

Tessa Bailey’s writing is not for me. Love the premise and the diabetes rep, but can’t get past the insta-love and the alpha-hole who is actually a soft marshmallow inside. The banter was just too much for an initial IRL meeting.
