Some Girls Do

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 💕

while this book may not be the peak of american literature, its a super fun book; easy to read, really developed characters, pretty good writing and of course an adorable romance. would definitely recommend

As the Official Sapphic Sage, I can honestly say that this was another amazing book that I loved from the very beginning to the end. This book is heartbreaking and has a great ending that will leave wanting to find the love that the 2 main characters did even if it takes time to find it. I highly recommend this book to anyone of any gender, sexuality, or, race. I promise on my self given title as the "Sapphic Sage", you'll enjoy this book as much as I did.

Daughter loved it

I've read this one more times than any other book! It holds a special place in my heart. It was one of the first sapphic books I read when I started getting into reading, and the story just spoke to me. I could relate to both Ruby and Morgan (in my youth, of course, lol). Their struggles, their passions, their angst... it was familiar. Now Ruby and Morgan are obviously extremely different, but I love stories where they just couldn't deny the attraction. They had a lot going against them, and nothing was easy for them, but they were both tough and resilient. I truly enjoyed their journey.

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.

The thing I enjoyed the most about this book was that the actions of the characters spoke for them in an over weighted fashion. No spoilers in this review, but the author does a fantastic job at writing characters you love to hate and hate to love. 4 stars here because my physical hardcover was not great quality (pages falling out of spine, pages are low quality paper, title material easily warped from holding).

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.
