THINGS I LIKED (Apart from that gorgeous cover 😍🙌)

-Imogen was such a cinnamon roll character. She was an over thinker, a Scorpio and the ultimate ally 🙌
-There were prominent discussions about queer discourse specifically “what makes a person queer?” “What does a queer person look like?” “What if I’m queer baiting?” “Am I actually queer or am I just influenced by the people around me?” and these themes were very predominant in the book as well as topics surrounding gatekeeping, queer validation and creating safe spaces and what those look like.
-This book also showed different types of friendships and what true ally ship looks like. Gretchen was a very passionate member of the LGBTQ+ community yet her treatment of Imogen when she was questioning her sexuality was inconsiderate even if she thought she had good intentions.
-The cameos from Love Victor and Simon vs the Homosapiens Agenda 💖
-The depictions of college/uni life were so accurate and I loved reading about Imogen’s uni friends 🥰

THINGS THAT COULD’VE BEEN IMPROVED

-Nothing really but it took me a while to get into Imogen’s character and feel that chemistry between her and Tessa. It definitely took more of a build up than with Simon vs (which is one of my favourite books of all time 😍)

Definitely! It's a very fluffy and cute book! If you liked Simon Vs you'll really enjoy this!
