Imogen, Obviously Review

Imogen, Obviously by Becky Albertalli

CW: Swearing, Mentions of Sex, Underage Drinking, Gaslighting, Queer Gatekeeping, Internalized Biphobia, Anxiety, Celebrity Pressured into Coming Out, Bullying, Queerphobia, Biphobia, Positive Reference to David Bowie

5/5

I obviously read this book because I read all of Becky Albertalli's books, she even has a tag on this site. I love knowing that I'm getting queer and/or Jewish content when I start to read any of her novels. However, Imogen, Obviously ended up being extra special to me. Imogen and I are very similar people with very similar experiences. I am warning you now that I am going to go into some of my own queer journey further down. There is some bullying, but I will keep the details light. It is impossible for me to talk about this book without going into what it means to me.

Imogen Scott is a senior in high school who has just been accepted to her best friend's college. Lili is one year older than Imogen and has been begging her to come visit all year. When Imogen finally does, she quickly gets absorbed into the group of cool college queer folks that Lili is a part of. That includes Tessa, a chaotic lesbian who reminds Imogen of her favorite character in her favorite movie. It turns out that these friends think that Imogen is bi, as Lili pretended that they used to date. Imogen agrees to go along with it, but she starts to consider all she knows about being bi and what that might have to do with her.

Imogen, Obviously is written very well! Every joke landed, the characters felt like the ages they were written as, there was plenty of diversity, it dove into real and important issues, the pacing was perfect, and mental health was handled realistically and with care. Mental health is very important to this novel, especially considering the anxiety Imogen seems to be struggling with. Other mental health topics discussed and shown in this book are ADHD, bullying, bigotry, gaslighting/gatekeeping, and self-esteem. The diversity in the novel goes beyond queer representation, including a black character, an Asian character, and a Jewish love interest. The book takes place over the course of about a week, but nothing feels rushed or like it couldn't fit. Albertalli is great at making all of the elements work together.

Albertalli has discussed her story on social media, so I will discuss her’s before my own story. If you know it before you read the book, you'll be able to pick up on the references to it. However, you will still get a lot from Imogen, Obviously even if you don't know. There have been a lot of creators of queer content that have been pressured into coming out, especially from within the community. Becky Albertalli is one of them. Others include Kit Connor (Heartstopper), Jameela Jamil (Legacy), and Rebel Wilson (Isn't It Romantic). Albertalli faced years of scrutiny, harassment, criticism, and invasive questions surrounding her sexuality. Although she has been a great ally and advocate to the queer community and has never written anything exploitative, people had a problem with her writing queer content while being seen as cis and heterosexual. Her books led her to questioning her identity, but she should have gotten to come out on her own terms, if she ever wanted to. Imogen, Obviously explores both the pressure to come out when creating queer content and not knowing that you are queer until later in life.

Now for my own story. Thanks to queer media and Glee specifically, I started to consider that I might be bi in middle school. I called myself bicurious at summer camp between sixth and seventh grade. In retrospect, I had a crush on both the girl and boy in a couple I knew there. Although, my first unknown-crush was likely on a girl in my second grade class. However, in middle school, a bully found out that I am bi when she took my friend's phone. I believe I said it was a joke when I realized, and then went so far back into the closet that I thought I was straight.

I was a strong ally to a bunch of queer best friends throughout high school, even to the one person that was a lot like Imogen's friend, Gretchen (you'll know what I mean if you read the book). I also had my one "girl-crush" on/obsession with Felicia Day. In senior year I learned about aesthetic attraction and started coming back to terms with not being straight. It wasn't until the summer when I was posting a lot of pictures of Hayley Atwell on tumblr and also found the term "biromantic" on there, that I finally knew I was bi. Albertalli touches on this a little near the end of the book, but we need more asexual representation in school and in media. The lack of knowledge and the presence of bullies kept me from realizing who I am until a little after Imogen figured herself out. Still, it took me several more years to fully process where I am on the ace spectrum. My story is obviously mine, but I feel a deep sense of familiarity with Imogen.

Thank you for reading my story and Becky Albertalli's. I hope that you'll read Imogen's as well. If you like queer nerds and college stories, Imogen, Obviously is a great book for you! A giant griddle, underground passageways, and dark academia await you in the pages of this book!

I Kissed Shara Wheeler Review

★★★★★ - 5 stars

"She's been kissed and ditched by Shara Wheeler. And she's not the only one."

Shara Wheeler is missing. And Chloe Green can't stand it. First of all, she wants to beat Shara for the role of valedictorian - in fact, she feels she needs it. And secondly, two days before she disappeared, Shara Wheeler kissed her, and she wants to know why. But when hunting for clues, Chloe discovers she wasn't the only one Shara kissed. Rory Heron is your stereotypical bad boy, and Shara is the girl next door. And then there's Shara’s high school sweetheart (who she has been with for as long as Chloe can remember): Smith Parker. To each of them, Shara left cryptic clues, and only together can they find where she went.

Funny. Witty. Brilliant. Words to describe I Kissed Shara Wheeler are pretty much infinite… In the perfect amalgamation of Gilmore Girls, Glee, and Pretty Little Liars, Casey McQuiston has readers hooked from the first line, in this masterpiece of modern romantic comedy.

In the same way that Casey McQuiston’s novel Red, White and Royal Blue was inspired by Pride and Prejudice, I Kissed Shara Wheeler checks off another of Austen’s works: Emma. A girl who uses those around her, manipulating her friends in order to make her own life less boring – the title characters of both novels (Shara and Emma) have a lot in common.

Allusions to pop culture, including Jane Austen’s novels, are common throughout the novel, such as references to popular music artists, such as Lana Del Rey and The Killers, and popular TV shows such as Riverdale. Not only does this establish that I Kissed Shara Wheeler is set in 2022, but it also makes the characters more relatable for the reader, as you can understand the references the characters are making.

At its core, I Kissed Shara Wheeler is about identity – it’s about figuring out who you are in the world; it’s about figuring out your sexuality and gender; it’s about figuring out what type of person you want to be, but it’s also about so much more. In 351 pages, the characters of the novel teach readers numerous life lessons: there’s a difference between being nice and being kind; you can be religious and part of the LGBTQ+ community at the same time – they aren’t necessarily exclusive; you aren’t necessarily who your town makes you; high school shapes you into who you are as a person even if you hate it, and all of us are on the same journey in the world, just not necessarily in the same timeline.

If everybody in the world had to read one book, I would recommend this one. Because I Kissed Shara Wheeler has it all. It has important life lessons for readers. It has diversity and representation. It’s an academic rival’s novel, with a theatre-obsessed, queer friendship group. It has nice jocks, and romantic, songwriter rebels. It has small-town problems, and it has a mystery intertwined within the pages.

With an average rating of 4.13 on Goodreads, this Gone-Girl-turned-romcom masterpiece, will make you laugh, smile, and cry and will keep you obsessively turning the pages until its very last word.

(via Review - Never Ever Getting Back Together)

Representation: two sapphic bisexual MCs with different POVs. wlw relationship. Gay SC.

Never Ever Getting Back Together follows two girls, Maya and Skye, who both dated Jordy, a charismatic charmer who is now-famous and everyone loves. They’re invited to participate in “Second Chance Romance” which is a bachelor-esque reality TV show, with all of Jordy’s exes seeing if they can rekindle something.

The twist? Maya isn’t there for Jordy. She’s there for revenge. According to Maya, Jordy cheated on her with Skye and Skye knew about it. According to Jordy, he tried to break up with Maya but she said no and went crazy stalker ex on him. Let the drama ensue.

Holy cow. I have been blessed by the gods to read an early copy of this. I’m not even sure how to put into words how much I loved this book, but I do know that I will be ordering a physical copy as soon as the paperback format comes out. I’ve already been gushing to my friends (and my chiropractor?) about this book.

If you loved the first book of The Selection and you wanted MORE of that dating show drama, this book is for you. This is everything I wanted from that series, but also, make it queer.

Congratulations to this author for making me hate this fictional guy more than I’ve ever hated any other. He is detestable in the most believable way. Truly, this book is the ultimate “the guy sucks lets just get together instead” and I’m so here for it.

And remember, never trust a guy with a J name.

Thank you NetGalley for a free e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The girls I've been

is exactly what I look for in a book.

Multifaceted protagonist, who thinks ten steps ahead always

strong bonds and secureness

such a refreshing take on trauma, abuse and therapy that mirrors my own (so many authors get it wrong but Tess gets it just right)

I'm a slut for identify shenanigans I'm just gonna say it

Batshit deranged and strong women

Also the suspense in which direction we're being taken

WIP #2

I have always been the kid that showed up to school nearly and hour early and wasn’t picked up until more than an hour after the bell. My dad works in a coal mine outside of town nearly fifty hours a week. My mom works as a CFO for a law firm in the city, and she often travels to their other locations across the country. I’ve always had to wait for my dad to get off work, or find a ride home, or walk.

In ninth grade, I started hanging out after school intentionally. I helped teachers clean up after school so I wouldn’t get kicked out of the building, or I volunteered to reorganize books in the library. Eventually, that’s just what I did.

It wasn’t uncommon to find me hunched over the copy machine in the workroom, printing out scripts for theatre. Or I might be found in the orchestra room correcting notes on sheet music while the director graded audio tests. Word got around and teachers whose classes I wasn’t even in began to ask if I could quickly run something through the copy machine, or pick something up from another room. Teachers are very busy people after all.

I’ve never minded. I got help on days when homework was tough or when I had bad anxiety and could barely hold myself together.

So whenever musical season comes around, I am ready with my song and my monologue, a simple all black outfit picked out so I look professional and confident so that I can run between the theatre and choir rooms with scripts and sheet music all painstakingly copied and corrected and recopied after school.

Which is how I am spending my Tuesday afternoon. I have a car and a license now that I am in my junior year, but nobody would be home anyway and no teachers give out much homework during the second week of school.

The copy machine pumps out edited music packets of The Hunchback of Notre Dame for me to take to the choir room and I tap my foot restlessly, fingers clamped around the straps of my backpack.

The bell only rang half an hour ago, but the choir director goes home early on the days he even hangs around for the full school day, and he needs to see the sheet music before the show so that he can teach it.

When the copy machine sputters to a stop and chimes to let me know it’s done, I gather up all the packets. The machine staples them together on its own, a handy little trick I hadn’t seen before I began high school, and I hug them to my chest as I leave the room and exist the faculty hallway. The school is empty except for the fine arts teachers in their hallway and whichever others choose to hang around to grade or clean up. From the cafeteria I can hear the hum of the machinery the janitors use to clean the floor and the clatter of the lunch staff in the kitchen.

I turn into the fine arts hallway and head for the choir room.

I push the heavy door open with my shoulder, eyes focused on my feet as I maneuver through the doorway without the use of my hands. The inside of the room is dead silent. Even my own breathing seems almost deafening.

I walk further into the room, resting the thick packets I carry on a little plastic table beside the grand piano in the center of the room.

I drop my backpack to the ground and turn toward the office, startling when I make eye contact with the boy I hadn’t known was there.

Abel Varon.

Oh shit.

Happy Pride🩷🤎🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Of course I celebrated by crossing off some queer titles from my TBR list! I listened to Imogen, Obviously by Becky Albertalli, Margo Zimmerman Gets the Girl by Brianna R. Shrum and Sara Waxelbaum, and Going Bicoastal by Dahlia Adler this month on Audible. My picks had a noticeable but unintentional trend given each of them are YA with Jewish representation, bi/les couples, redheaded MCs or love interests (or maybe not bc Imogen from Imogen, Obviously may be brunette judging by the artwork on the author’s Instagram…?) and 2/3 mention the movie,

which, thank goddess they did because they had me finally get around to watching it.

But this post isn’t about movies, it’s about books. So let’s get into them.

Imogen, Obviously

Imogen is surrounded by queer friends and family but she herself identifies as a straight ally. To show her support, she’s part of Pride Alliance, she loves queer pop culture, and she’s always there for her loved ones. Case in point, she’s also agreed to go along with her recently out best friend, Lili, and the lie she’s told her new, queer college friends about the two of them previously dating. It’s no problem for Imogen. Except when starts to get close with one of said friends, Tessa, and she begins to struggle with withholding the truth from her. She was never with Lili — she’s not even queer. Or is that only partly true?

TW: Biphobia, pressured/forced outing of a character, toxic friendship, gatekeeping, gaslighting, queer stereotypes

Opinion: First thing’s first, I’ll say it’s probably best to read this book for yourself rather than listen to the audiobook because there is a lot of texting. I was distracted (and slightly annoyed) by the constant mention of character initials and text timestamps within the narration. Other than that, this book resonated with me since I too was once a closeted bisexual whose sexuality was never once questioned because we were all convinced I was straight (curse comphet). Once it dawned on me I am in fact, not straight, it made so much sense looking back. It’s no surprise I’ve also experienced biphobia since coming out. I couldn’t relate to everything in the book; I’ve never found my own Tessa (I love her character) and I’ve never had a queer circle of my own. None of that stopped me from enjoying the story, however, and I can see this book making an impact on others. Especially the next generation.

Margo Zimmerman Gets the Girl

Baby, closeted lesbian, Margo, gets lessons from out-and-proud bisexual, Abbie, on how to “ace” being ✨gay✨ and discovers a new friendship with her experienced mentor, as well as her growing feelings for the girl of her dreams.

TW: Biphobia, homophobia, toxic friendship, gatekeeping, gaslighting, queer and lesbian stereotypes

Opinion: This book was my favorite of the three and I found myself relating a bit to both Margo and Abbie. There’s not much else I can say about it without giving away spoilers but I will say I loved this book and I highly recommend it!

Going Bicoastal

Follow Natalya along two different realities, one where she’s living with her father in New York City and getting to know “the redhead” she’s had her eye on. The other, she’s staying with her mother in Los Angeles and warming up to the intern she shares a desk with at her mother’s place of work.

TW: Self harm, divorce/divorced parents

(Unpopular) Opinion: As a fan of Adler’s Cool for the Summer and Home Field Advantage, not to mention a fan of this concept, I was really excited for this to release. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. While it had potential, I thought it was kind of boring. It seemed to me more care was put into the mentioning of food than the plot. I didn’t develop much of an interest in the characters, either. It was entertaining enough to finish but I wouldn’t personally recommend it. Not over Dahlia’s other works and not over Imogen, Obviously or Margo Zimmerman Gets the Girl. However, if you want to, I encourage you to give it a try yourself and develop your own opinion. There are many other good reviews out there for this one. It appears I’m the odd one out, which is fine.

A Flowers and Flourishing Snippet for Friday Kiss

[image description: flowers and flourishing. The Jaguar stood watching her with its head cocked and its mouth agape to show its sharp, white teeth. Agatha swallowed hard. An instinctual thrill of fear ran through her, but she knew it was Louisa. She would have known even if she hadn’t spotted the familiar blue dressing gown tied neatly around the big cat’s neck. She recognized its eyes. Instead of having green or yellow eyes like most cats, they were nearly as dark as its spots. #fridaykiss]

Rosaline Palmer Takes The Cake Review

Rosaline Palmer Takes The Cake by Alexis Hall

CW: Drinking, Heavy Drinking, Queerphobia, Bi-phobia, Sex Descriptions, Sexual Harassment, Classism, Sexism, Manipulative Parents, Gaslighting, Heavy Swearing, Money Problems, Discussion of Teenage Pregnancy, Consideration of Abortion, Blackmail Attempt, Mild Violence

4/5

I can honestly say this is the first adult book I've read where the main character is a bisexual woman and is having a romance with a man. I have read two teen books like this, but never for adults. That being said, the romance wasn't the part of the book that pulled me in. The real romance to focus on is the one between Rosaline and herself. If you want a story about a woman setting boundaries and finding out what she wants out of life, Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake is a really good book for that.

Rosaline Palmer is a single mom in her late 20s who works in a shop. Although she can take money from her parents, it has conditions. There's a certain life they imagined for her and the fact that she strayed from it is upsetting to them. To pay her parents back and help her daughter, Amelie, have a better life, she enters a baking competition show. As the weeks go by, Rosaline meets two men that show her what she does and doesn't want out of life. There's Alain, who sees a lot of potential in her and her parents approve of him. Then there's Harry. He shows her that she is already an impressive woman, plus he knows how to win Amelie over. By the end of the competition, will Rosaline find what she's after?

Initially, I did not like either Alain or Harry and considered putting the book down. However, I've read both Boyfriend Material and Husband Material by Hall, so I trust his writing. Additionally, I was already pulled in by Rosaline and Amelie. Their mother-daughter relationship was sweet and fun. Hall knows how to write books with an ensemble of characters. It's not just a main plot and a love story that you get when you read his work. As this book revolves around a baking competition, we get to know the other contestants and the TV crew. They filled the story with energy and kept me reading. Considering there are two more books ahead of me in this series, I am especially grateful for the TV crew.

The built-in structure of a weekly competition kept the book at a realistic and enjoyable pace. The time dedicated to both men, exploring Rosaline's relationship with her parents, the baking competition itself, Rosaline's home life with Amelie, and Rosaline bonding with her competitors was enough and very well balanced. Despite being only slightly interested in the love plot, I didn't want to put this book down. It was entertaining, emotional, funny, and cute. Certainly things that I want from a book.

As I mentioned previously, I've never seen straight-passing bi romance offered for adults in book form before. This representation is important no matter the age. Rosaline faces a lot of queer and bi-phobia within the story. Her parents prefer for her to be with a man, she faces people assuming she would be okay with a threesome, one of her fellow competitors provides unsolicited opinions about her sexuality, and her daughter's school has rules about mentioning LGBTQ+ related topics. Romances between a bi person and someone not of their gender are important because they show you that you don't have to "look" queer to be queer.

If you've seen any of The Great British Bake Off, you'll understand exactly what Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake is going for. Even if that's not the case, I think this book still appeals to a wide audience. Single moms, fighting classist rhetoric, and bi representation! I can't wait to read the sequel!

(via Review - The Romance Recipe)

Representation: lesbian MC & bisexual MC (dual POV).

I applied for an ARC of this book because it looked right up my alley, but got denied. So I went to pick it up while on vacation, the day it came out. I got the last copy at Books-A-Million and I’m so glad I did!

This wasn’t everyone’s favorite book but in my opinion, it set out what it meant to and it fulfilled what I wanted it for! I didn’t realize there was going to be spice, so I was blushing more than a little while reading this on a family vacation… in public. In a very conservative area of South Carolina. It’s fine. We’re fine. It’s all fine.
