"A beautiful, poised, and thought-provoking debut about love, loss, coming out, and discovering living life on your own terms." —New York Times bestselling author Kathleen Glasgow There are two things that Corinne Parker knows to be true: that she is in love with Maggie Bailey, the captain of the rival high school's cross-country team and her secret girlfriend of a year, and that she isn't ready for anyone to know she's bisexual. But then Maggie dies, and Corinne quickly learns that the only thing worse than losing Maggie is being left heartbroken over a relationship no one knows existed. And to make things even more complicated, the only person she can turn to is Elissa—Maggie's ex, and the single person who understands how Corinne is feeling. As Corinne struggles to make sense of her grief and what she truly wants out of life, she begins to have feelings for the last person she should fall for. But to move forward after losing Maggie, Corinne will have to learn to be honest with the people in her life...starting with herself.

i think i saw a lot of myself in corinne and her fears which is why im probably a bit biased (hah, bi-ased)
but i think this book handles both grief and the difficulties of coming out to your environment really well. i love corinne a lot and she was extremely relatable in my opinion, whenever her actions frustrated me i realized that it was because i have been in similar situations and the frustration was just me looking back on that
this book certainly isn't an easy read but if you want a good YA coming of age story that deals with the mentioned topics then i really recommend this one
This is type of book that shows its value by the end of it. I really couldn't connect to the characters at the beginning thinking it was too confusing with the dual timelines. But by the last third it made me realize i can actually relate to the mc's story which hits pretty hard. Very satisfying ending
