I was really surprised at how quickly I ate this story up, I wanted to know everything about Evelyn immediately. I liked the beginning and ending of this book very much, but the middle was a bit dull and made me hate Evelyn sometimes.

I really love the bisexual rep in the book and how clear it's made that Evelyn will not be generalised into being straight or lesbian but she stood by how she felt. As a bisexual woman, it was nice to see this because we are so often told to just pick one gender or just pick men to appease society.

I guessed most of the plot twists, and the one about Monique's dad was a big meh. This was because I didn't really feel invested in Monique. Her story felt forced between Evelyn's, and sometimes, when it came back to Monique, it was jarring because I was so invested in Evelyn.

I would rate this book 3 stars, but I really loved some of the characters like Harry and Connor. I really felt for Evelyn when they left her, and the author is very effective in creating very real and raw emotional scenes. None of the characters felt fake, and it felt like I was reading very real people to the point where it felt like non-fiction at times.

The one part of the story I wasn't fully satisfied with was the main love story. The reasons they left each other first for 5 years and then for a decade were stupid. They could have been resolved with an honest conversation and adult understanding. I love their love, but it did feel toxic at times, and I wanted them to fix it so badly.

It also didn't sit right with me that Evelyn got to out Celia and Harry as gay in her biography. Both of them were very protective of this fact, and although they were dead, it didn't feel ok.
