Juliet needs to figure out where she fits in her world. Before heading to her summer internship on the other side of the country, Juliet comes out to her family. She is a lesbian. Once she has met her idol, Harlowe, Juliet is challenged with a break up and coming to terms of who Harlowe really is, but Juliet also makes friends and learns to express herself in many ways.

I enjoyed the story and found the message moving and relatable. The explicit language and sexual content may need a disclaimer when a student chooses the book off the shelf, but I will put it on the library shelf. I message is perfect for many of my LGBTQ students.

Thank you for providing me with an advanced copy.

In an attempt to catch up with the reviews I fell behind on in 2020 I am only leaving star rating for the books that I didn't feel incredibly passionate about.

This semi-biographical YA novel has completely changed the way I think about a lot of things regarding feminism, sexuality and race which is truly a beautiful thing. I am so thankful to have had the chance to not only receive an ARC of this novel, but just read it in general. Gabby Rivera does an immaculate job of writing a coming-of-age story that never alienates the reader and challenges them to think about their own biases when it comes to womanhood, race and the LGBTQ+ community.
