So this wasn’t capital B biohobic but something felt off the entire time.
** edit: I take it back I just explained the issues with the book to a friend and this is Biphobic for SURE. Bi character isn’t able to commit, hasn’t loved anyone, super flaky and not emotive, mostly dates guys, assumed straight because she’s pretty and is seen dating guys so she’s obvi straight. Biphobic. End Of.**

Like it is evident that chapters were changed but I couldn’t pin point which ones. Ruby seemed like a really sweet girl but she got this weird manic pixie dream girl characterisation which really shouldn’t be a thing in sapphic books but there you go. This ideal pretty girl who is popular and cool and a little edgy and doesn’t express emotions according to the status quo and is a longtime object of the MC’s affections. They have a quick fling but the goal of that was for the MC to learn to trust the whims in life...Ruby to the T. Poor fucking girl she has so much life but the goddamn author just didn’t do her justice. Quinn was boring and far too fixated on high school dynamics. Jamie was just bland and wrong. Alexis being the gossip mill was somehow a good thing?? You’re going to make the school gossip someone who ISNT the cause of all drama????? Also what is this 2003? This isn’t the high school dynamic of the zoomers.

Anyways. I skimmed most of this book because it was so much useless detail but also I didn’t want to dedicate any time to this knowing it was by a biohobic author. Whatever.
