For once, I think the book truly just wasn't for me. Not a soft way of saying I thought it was bad, I couldn't find fault with it, and still didn't get that much out of it. I think it really just wasn't my style, so I'm gonna leave the elaborate reviews to people who felt more strongly about it.

While two characters to decide to have an open relationship, they still overstep emotional boundaries, so regardless of whether it would be considered cheating technically, it invokes similar emotions and may be triggering to those with related traumathebankofbooks's review against another edition

This book is an extremely stereotypical portrayal of bisexuality and open relationships. The MC is sooo selfish and treats everyone around her v poorly. There were elements I liked, but overall I would avoid this book. Also, poor Doug <3

This is a journey of self discovery and self destruction.
I will say this book is not without its flaws but I had a really fun time reading it. I found it very pacy and whizzed through it because I wanted to find out what would happen.
I found the writing style and characters made me suspend disbelief which I think is needed because this is a ridiculous queer romp. There are some uncomfortable stereotypes and comments made, but overall I enjoyed the characters and the fact that Georgina’s decisions all blew up in her face because she deserved that after lying, keeping secrets and cheating.
I liked the ending because the whole premise is kind of who will she end up with and then it’s neither but I’m glad it was Cara but we don’t go any further than a glimpse. I did find it ridiculous her own mum let her go four YEARS feeling guilty about her father’s death and punishing herself all that time.

There were parts of this novel I really enjoyed, like the discussions around bisexuality and gatekeeping within the community, Gina's rediscovery of her love of piano, and George's experimentation with her queer visual identity. But there were also parts I found too chaotic, particularly towards the end.
Georgina is the epitome of a "messy" protagonist and I don't mind messy characters at all, but when the plot starts to slide out of control and become messy too it feels like the story has lost its groundwork. It was also frustrating to watch the Georgina constantly lie to the people she cared about and treat them poorly; even when opportunities arose for her to tell the truth, she didn't take them. I guessed quite a few of the twists before they happened, but I did enjoy one particular thing (a date) that happened (and I'd been rooting for) right at the end.

If you're after a questionably-paced, easy read of a romance with wlw representation, this is for you. I wasn't really happy with how many of the loose threads and feuds got wrapped up but it was entertaining enough.

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.
