I expected a lighthearted queer romcom, but it was more than that! At the beginning the characters, their thoughts ans conversations seemed unnatural to me but for me the first pages are always a bit odd. And once you pass those first chapters, the characters because more complex and the whole plot develops very natural and topics, relationships and feelings were displayed in a nuanced way! I really enjoyed reading the book and I would recommend it without hesitating one second! I could identify myself with the main character in many aspects and it was kind of wholesome to read the story. 

Only thing which bothered me a bit, was that the main character was struggling with the death of their Dad and some panick attacks and I feel like a lot of authors use such background stories to give their characters depth. I know that writers are allowed to be creative and also that some of them actually share those experiences, but sometimes it makes me feel bad, because I feel like other people use those experiences somewhat instrumentally to paint a deeper character, which is just really hurtful for me personally. Does that make sense? I’m not sure whether I got my point across. 

Anyways, the story made sense and in a lot of ways it was better than I expected! The main character was always hinting at their traumatic past and I already saw a plumb plot twist reveal, but everything evolved so naturally. And I was also positively surprised by the way the author treated the  open relationship topic and the bad girl(/boy) trope! Some sequences seemed a forced for educational purposes, but I didn’t mind, because books are a good way to make readers reflect and it wasn’t to unnatural overall! 

This book really took me on an emotional journey and I had the urge to write those feelings and expressions down, hence this loooong review… Maybe I should get a journal instead…

A gorgeous romcom this book follows our MC Georgia/ George as they come to terms with their sexual identity, what will come of their current relationship and to a degree their life as a whole.  

Mid 20s and in a long term relationship G works as a piano teacher at a private school and runs on a strict schedule.  
Despite this this book explores and discusses so many important topics, from homophobia and biphobia to grief. 

I was on the edge of my seat waiting to know what would happen next and the journey was made all the more better with the amazing representation and discussions of representation and accessibility as a whole within the book. 

Such good fun!
