I don't get the hate for Julie Murphy. Her protagonists are flawed, and realistic. This novel isn't a "magical penis turns lesbian straight!" story, it's about a girl discovering herself, and realizing that nothing is black and white, for many things in addition to sexuality, such as class, race, and gender. It's not erasing lesbianism, since there's a lesbian couple, and another girl who identifies as homoromantic demisexual. The novel isn't about sticking a label on something and sticking with that label. This book is just about one character, and isn't the definite story for all bi/lesbian women. I didn't know this novel was so polarising and controversial until I started reading it. I read it because I adored Dumplin' another Julie Murphy novel that people love to hate based on a few lines taken out of context. I'm still processing, and I'm on a smartphone. I will edit this review later
