Seconds by Bryan Lee O’Malley

3.0

I’ve never been more convinced that a storyline would be queer, nor more confused when it wasn’t. I don’t mean this in an abstract, general cry for more representation. It really felt like the story was setting up Hazel and Katie to get together at the end, or for Hazel to realise she didn’t have to date at all, so the sudden way it wrapped up was jarring. A couple pages of “and then this dysfunctional couple lived happily ever after, and this girl cut her hair and met a nice boy and now she fits in and everyone likes here” was just disappointing.
