Etta is a messy, complicated, beautiful character.

sure, i like having a bisexual poc protagonist, but all of that becomes meaningless once you have a book where the lesbian characters are written in such a hateful way. the author must have an issue with lesbians. i dont know how else to interpret this.

so. dont read this unless you love seeing bisexual and lesbian women fighting and hating each other. not recommended.

I totally dug Etta's voice and journey in this. So funny and self-aware... except when she's not.

This is the kind of book that a certain type of terrible person will groan about being “too politically correct,” like it's implausible that a black, bisexual person with an eating disorder would possibly exist. And I think Moskowitz does such a great job exploring the intersectionality between all the aspects of Etta's life.

Feels like a good readalike for E. Lockhart.

A lot of frank and positive discussion of sexuality, which is great! But not tween friendly.
