Some Girls Do

As a teenage lesbian who HATES reading I REALLY LOVE this book. It has so many relatable things in it and it makes me feel do seen. The author, Jennifer Dugan, has this way with her words that make everything make sense but also seem so confusing at the same time. And that’s what makes this such a good book, because it’s so refreshing to not have it black and white. This book has such a unique and amazing storyline, unlike most sapphic romance stories, it shows so many aspects of how being queer feels and impacts your life. I HIGHLY recommend this book for those reasons, please read it, and I hope you enjoy it like I di (Soooo sad it’s done, gonna miss reading it and finding out what happens next with Ruby and Morgan )

I liked it as a typical example of YA queer romance. It was neither too breezy nor too somber for me.

This book was absolutely charming and wonderful and when I finished it I literally hugged the book I was so happy. I don’t know that many other books have ever made me feel that way. But it was so overwhelmingly perfect for my gay little heart. I wish this book existed when I was a closeted teen in a situation similar to Ruby’s. The only thing that I struggled with is that in my brain I thought their names should be each others names, but that’s just a “my brain” thing and the author clearly chose those names for the girls on purpose. I wish there was a second book so I knew what happened next for them. But wow, I really loved this book. Best $10 (or whatever it was) that I spent on a random book that consumed me and I couldn’t escape or put it down. Now it’s time to pay the magic of this book forward and donate it to the Pride Center library at my university so someone else can enjoy it as much as I did 💕

I absolutely loved this book and read it one day because I couldn’t put it down. Jennifer Dugan has become one of my favorite authors.

To preface my review, I'm still new to romance books. I grew up pan (though mostly lesbian) and trans so traditional hetero romance just seemed to fall short. I saw this title and was curious enough to give it a try and I'm glad I did. If I had to summarize this story without spoiling anything I'd have to say the message is if you really care about someone, give them the love and support to come out at their own pace. Coming out isn't as easy for some as it is for others. When I decided to transition, I did it instantly which then put everyone else on the spot which wasn't really fare to them. On the other hand, being my true self meant the world to me which is why I relate to Morgan do much. To read Ruby's struggle to find herself was difficult at times but rewarding. Aside from a few minor typos or words out of order, I really don't have any complaints. In fact, a follow up about how Morgan and Ruby handle their relationship after they start going to different schools could be fun to read. This is exactly the kind of LGBTQ+ story I've been hoping for.

This kind of book is new to me and it is interesting to see a different kind of conflict. That was the intriguing part for me because it is not just ordinary but complex. It is something that heterosexuals like me will never really understand. As an open-minded person, I caught up to that life/romantic barrier and appreciated the change. While I have big pet peeves about love at first sight and fast-paced relationship. Those two never click right with me. Still, I think it is fun to read something like this while it isn’t necessarily a perfect book.

It was adorable watching Ruby and Morgan find each other. I did take off a star for how frustratingly blind Morgan was about other people's feelings about not coming out themselves. It angered me that a character would be created to be so blindly dismissive of these feelings.

This book was so fun to read from start to finish. I laughed out loud at times and even held my breath at times in anticipation. It was just really good! I especially loved Ruby's character. And unlike some other reviewers, I'm a sucker for a good insta-love story. I think the author's writing style flows nicely and that the length was just right for the story she wanted to tell. I would've like to see more of of what happened to Morgan's track friends, but it's so minor that it's not worth taking a star off for. Great read and I will be recommending it to others who enjoy YA and/or lesbian romance. Looking forward to reading other books by Jennifer Dugan.

Bit of everything I’m a sucker for especially enemies to lovers! Loved that all their issues weren’t fixed with a kiss, there was still some work to be done individually.

For my daughter she really enjoyed it

Esse livro fez com que me apaixonasse pela escrita da Jenn e tenho ela como uma das minhas autoras sáficas preferidas. A narrativa é muito boa e as personagens maravilhosas. Tô muito feliz que vai ter a sequência!

Me encanto, lectura ágil, personajes reales y se puede empatizar rápido. Llore, reí y fue una montaña rusa de emociones.
