Who I Was with Her

3.75/4 stars

This is like really, reallly close to 4 stars.

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

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

I am crying!!;;
