I loved You Should See Me in a Crown so much that I preordered this book right when it was announced. I’m so sad that this book and I just didn’t click. One of the main characters, Olivia, was the definition of a hot mess, a lovable hot mess though. At times I wanted to strangle her and at times I wanted to give her the biggest of hugs there was no in between. With the conflict between her and her best friend, Imani, I honestly felt so bad for Imani because to be constantly discarded by your best friend as if you’re not a priority to her must feel terrible. Olivia just needed to feel loved and she would go on a war path to find it. I couldn’t even be mad at her I just felt bad for her too. Usually I’m a defender for the insta love trope but I felt if the characters had more time together the connection between Olivia and Toni would have been stronger and more believable. I didn’t feel much when they reconnected at the end. I will admit that it was very fluffy though. Another gripe I had with this book is that I felt that Leah Johnson compiled a list of controversial topics and her goal was to cram each and every one in this book. I think if she just chose one important issue to focus on her message would have meant so much more to readers. The funny thing is that even through all the mess I had a fun time reading this story. So if you want to read the blossoming romance of a chaotic, self-destructive bisexual and a closed off lesbian look no further.
