This book was A Trip (affectionate and derogatory). It was an easy read, and much needed after the last book I read, but it also felt super hamfisted in its depictions of someone dealing with her comphet. At times, the messiness was refreshing and I appreciated seeing adults tackle their sexuality, but other times it was uh... pretty offensive. The first 25% was really hard to get into bc Katie is NOT a likeable character. The middle is definitely my favorite part, but then then last 20% felt so incredibly rushed with a bunch of plot threads left loose. Not terrible, but not amazing. If you want wholesome non-problematic gay people, this ain't the book for you. If you want something with any level of depth, this also isn't for you. But if you want a mindless quick read, then sure why not.
