Synopsis

Ivy K. Harlowe is a lot of things.

She's my best friend. She's the center of attention. She is, without fail, the hottest girl in the room. Anytime. Anyplace.

She has freckles and dimples and bright green eyes, and with someone else's energy she'd be adorable. But there is nothing cute about Ivy. She is ice and hot metal and electricity.

She is the girl who every lesbian wants, but she has never been with the same person twice. She's one-of-a-kind but also predictable, so I will always be Andie, her best friend, never Andie, her girlfriend.

Then she meets Dot, and Ivy does something even I would have never guessed—she sees Dot another day. And another. And another.

Now my world is slowly going up in smoke, and no matter what I do, the flames grow higher. She lit that match without knowing who or what it would burn.

Ivy K. Harlowe is a lot of things. But falling in love wasn't supposed to be one of them . . . unless it was with me.

Goodreads review by Jude in the Stars on May 29, 2021

I don’t know what to think of this book. It’s well-written. There are feelings. Teenage angst. So much teenage angst. Andie has been in love with Ivy since forever. Ivy doesn’t do relationships and goes from girl to girl, which isn’t that surprising at nineteen. Andie is okay with it because she’s co......more

Goodreads review by Sam on May 27, 2021

This is exactly what a “new adult” book shouldn’t be for me. Andie is in love with Ivy, but Ivy doesn’t do love. She hops from one girl to the next, sometimes multiples in a night. That is until Dot comes along. A couple years younger than the main and her obsession. Andie here is the main, book is w......more

Goodreads review by Maja on June 01, 2021

THIS WAS HARD FOR ME TO LIKE I was such a fan of Moskowitz's first novel Sick Kids in Love, and I was expecting a similar reading experience with this book. Maybe that was where it went wrong for me? Because this was something completely different. First of, it's written for a more mature audience. S......more

Goodreads review by Kathreadsall on May 22, 2021

This was a quick, engaging read with lush detail but with a lot of unhealthy relationships. I do appreciate the queer and disability rep, with the latter being done in a respectful manner, and wasn't made the focus on the character. However, I had a lot of trouble with the relationships. Andie is ob......more
