(Like, I do not remember having seen the word clit in YA, ever.)Īs for the other stuff, some is undoubtedly subjective. (I also liked the nod to safe sex in the book and in the author's note.) It was a little actually more graphic than I expected, which surprised me only because the ARC came with a note that basically said it wasn't. I really liked the way it showed off different dynamics, and also brought different people together, and was a cute vehicle for flirting, and was a unique story device.Ģ) Obviously, there's a lot of queer representation, and, as I mentioned above, Gold writes different dynamics in her books that we often don't get to see, and that's something I really appreciate.ģ) I'm all for more on-page f/f sex in YA, because it's so rare and I think it's important for teens to see that it's healthy and normal and also what it is, since many don't have the resources. I wanna start with things I really liked:ġ) The whole co-writing subplot that brings everyone together - that was probably my favorite thing about the book. This is my second Rachel Gold book, and in both books she has done certain things so well (especially abusive queer relationships, which is a pretty rare thing to see), but there's just too much that makes me yell at the paper in my hands for me to read another at this point. You know when you are certain a writer has the best intentions, and you really, really just wish different people had looked at it before it went out into the world, so they could say "Stop stop stop do not do that thing or that thing or that thing?" This book is a perfect example of that.
