I had a very difficult time rating this book. Not because I didn't love it, but because it felt so close at home, I was just comparing it to my life and my coming out.

Whether this is meant to be read by YA who struggle with their identity, folks like me, that discovered their identity at an older age, allies that want to understand or whoever who just stumbles across this book, it doesn't really matter. It suits all!

What Imogen went through a bit before starting college, I went through at age 28. And her thoughts, questions, went through my mind at exactly the same way!

For me this is an anthem to bisexuality, to people coming out or discovering who they are at an older age. This is a book that only teaches that it is OK to be who you are, whenever you find out, and however you find out who you are!

The only reason it misses a star from me, is the slow beginning as the first chapters weren't interesting or moving fast enough!
