I overall enjoyed the book, but some stuff wasn't needed. And with this I mean the pirates. They add nothing to the story. And I mean /nothing/. The story would have been the same without them there. Less sex scenes and romance, but that's it. They didn't need to be there. They didn't help in the resolution of the story at all. Iwish they had not been added tbh.

I also have to say, as a bisexual girl myself, that as much as I appreciated the calling out of the sexualization we suffer, I did not appreciate the backtracking on Sosie. Being hesitant to be in a relationship could have happened in any of the idk how many f/m ships in the book, but it had to be the maybe-bi character that's not sure? I would have preferred it if it had not been teased at just to be taken back.

And before someone says it, I know questioning people exist, but having the supposed to be bi character be the one hurting the lesbian because maybe they're actually straight is a Bad Trope.

Those were really my two biggest problems with the book. I do also feel like the commercial breaks were fun at first but boring as the chapters went by.
