I could not put this book down, I read it in 2 days.

As a queer woman in a relationship with a man, the commentary surrounding bi-erasure in the queer community within the book was both affirming and heartbreaking to read about. Eartha lives through the journey of a queer person coming out later in life - the realization, the coming out, the joy of accepting oneself fully and then the biphobia that is very relevant to discourse today. This book is a phenomenal social commentary on the queer experience, social media, its impact on mental health, and how media conglomerates control our collective online existence,

It was also very affirming to read a book that had a non-binary character that didn't have a big moment where they have to profess their identity, The reader simply discovers that Rose uses they/them pronouns.

Eartha was a relatable protagonist, her journey through discovering her queerness was rooted in reality, I found the writing to be very fresh, the pacing made this book a page turner. I am unsure still if I wholeheartedly believe this opinion - that I would have liked to see a resolution between Eartha and her friends and family. While on one hand it would have provided a conclusive ending, on the other hand, it reflects how life works sometimes, mistakes are made and there is no resolution and I am torn between admiration and critique.

As this was a ARC, I can not wait to add a physical copy to my bookshelf and return to it soon.
