This book is a subtweet.

I'm kidding (mostly!), but Perfect on Paper was born of some very confused, conflicting feelings. At the time of writing, I was working on a sapphic rom-com, which I was intending to be my next book (watch this space in the future!!), when something happened.

I'm kidding (mostly!), but Perfect on Paper was born of some very confused, conflicting feelings. At the time of writing, I was working on a sapphic rom-com, which I was intending to be my next book (watch this space in the future!!), when something happened.

I've been writing bisexual characters for many years, but I'd always written them dating someone who shared their gender. Then, in OMD I wrote a bi character whose story culminated in a romance with someone of a different gender, and I suddenly received push back. I started hearing that I'd done something wrong, and I won't list the specific things said here, because they're just hurtful, but the reasons given boiled down to this: "a bi person who is in a relationship with a different gender is not correct queer rep".

At first, as is normal when we hear we've done something wrong, I felt awful, and doubted myself. But when I thought on it further, I didn't feel guilty anymore. Honestly, I felt angry. Because biphobia is still so ingrained in the community that people not only feel its acceptable to call a bi person less (or not) queer if they choose to date one person over another at a point in time, but that it was so ingrained within me that I hesitated. That I believed, for a moment, I might have done something wrong.

So, because I'm me, I did it again but bigger.

Perfect on Paper is a rom-com. It's light (mostly) it's funny (well, *my* funny, which means a lot of deadpan and self-deprecating humour, if you're into that), it's romantic. Its main pairing is m/f. And it's unapologetically, intensely, queer. All of those things are true at once.

It is about a lot of things. It's about relationships, romantic and platonic. It's about the things we project onto other people to create a narrative that feels safe. It's about being part of the queer community, and feeling like you've lost your place in it because of who you've fallen for. It's about Disneyland (for a chapter). It's about biphobia. It's about love.

I want to make it clear: this book has sapphic romance within it, but it is not a sapphic romance book. I don't want anyone going into this hoping to see representation that isn't there. I know how that feels. HOWEVER, I also want people to know the representation that *is* there.

This is, at its core, a very queer story. This story is for everyone, but, most especially, it is for my bi--and my pan--readers. You are queer, because you are, and who you fall for or date or kiss does not alter that. No one else can change you.

I know that the community has its prejudices, but I also know the boundless capacity for love and support that it has. The strength that it has. I hope that this ownvoices book is seen for what it is, and that the fear in the pit of my stomach that it will be pushed out for not being quite queer enough will turn out to be just that. Only fear.

Love to all of you!!!! ...more

I'm sitting here in ALL the good feels right now, which is the perfect way to be when a book ends. It was so fun, but also so full of drama and mass bad decisions and absolute clueless numpties who need to jUST KISS ALREADY and it had some incredibly important things to say.

relationship advice
I loved the premise of this! Darcy runs an anonymous relationship advice business. No one in the school knows its her answering but she gives actually very good, well-researched advice.....despite never having been in a relationship herself. Part of me was like "duh why wouldn't she tell her best friend she's in love withe her?!" But also it's HARD. I get why she struggled to be brave enough. And I always love with a character is so super smart and insightful...until it's their own problems, and then they're a MESS. 😂

It has a bit of annoyed-at-each-other-to-lovers dynamics. So many queer characters, none of which felt stereotyped or cliche! It discusses biphobia too. And Darcy's sister is trans (honestly their relationship was everything!! sister goals). And it talks a bit about vaguely problematic parents and unpacks what love really even is. Also there's some exceptionally epic dialogue and funny moments. I love it when a book makes me feel things and laugh.

Darcy is a total mess, and I loved her for it.
She makes huge mistakes, and her flaws made her feel real (also everyone acted like actual teens!!). I also thought the book handled catastrophes really healthily and realistically. Although I was dying softly as Darcy crashed headfirst into BAD ideas omg.

I had such a good time reading this! The romance, the friendships, the sisterly bonds, the hilarious scenes, the easy to absorb writing 😩👌🏻 A delight. Also nice to see Australian authors making it out in the world!! Darcy was American but Brougham was Australian and omg there were some PEAK Aussie culture references that made me laugh. ...more

What a great mash up of Simon vs Homo sapiens agenda, Leah on the Offbeat meets Netflix’s Sex Education series, To All the boys I loved before is fresh baked from the oven with amazing LGBTQ representation!

Bisexual heroine, straight hero and gay, lesbian, trans supporting characters present us wide spectrum of sexual identity exploration of the young adults, challenges they face and learn to love true selves are well told by reflecting different perspectives honestly and realistically.

Darcy Philips is school’s secret relationship consultant, yes, she’s different from Otis Milburn character from Sex Education :She doesn’t only help her friends with her objective opinions to solve their sexual problems with partners, she also help them to face their emotional problems gently.

Of course she keeps her identity secret, collecting the letters from a secret locker, answering the questions via a pen name. She’s bisexual and she has second thoughts to date with opposite gender because she is afraid of being perceived as less queer by her inner circle! See, firstly she needs to fight against the wrong thought patterns to have a fulfilled, satisfying relationship.

But unfortunately the most disturbing guy who pisses her off all the time finds out her secret. Yes, the one and only Alexander Brougham knows who she is and in exchange of his silence, he demands free relationship consultation from her to earn back his old girlfriend.

It seems like easy peasy task for Darcy but what if the guy she thinks a real douchebag slowly starts to attract her attention more than she thinks and there is still risk that her best friend Brooke can learn her true identity which may end their whole relationship. Yes, when it comes to hearts, there will be always unexpected, surprising complications.

Do you want to know what will happen next? Go on, but the book, devour the pages and find out!

I mostly enjoyed this sweet, thought provoking, meaningful story. The first half of the book was a little slow for me and I wish the story may have been told in lesser pages which would have been helpful with the pacing but it was still enjoyable, entertaining, lovely.

I’m rounding up 3.5 stars to 4 brave, complex, smart stars!

ANYWAY, Darcy is our main character, and I honestly enjoyed her so much. She’s relatable for me in so many ways and the fact that she screws up and makes some selfish decisions, but then learns from them... yes, we love a personal growth plot.

Darcy secretly runs a sort of “Dear Abby” style love advice system through locker 89 of her high school. She’s not a professional by any means, but she has a 95% success rate. That being said, her own love life is pretty much nonexistent. She’s in love with her best friend, Brooke, but can’t pull the trigger on telling her. It doesn’t help that her friend starts dating someone else. Someone Darcy doesn’t like.

When she’s caught by Alexander Brougham pulling love advice requests out of locker 89, he essentially blackmails her into helping him win back his ex-girlfriend. Yes, he’s paying her for her help, but she’s still annoyed he caught her and even more so that he’s forcing her to help him. She thinks Brougham is an aloof jerk, a spoiled rich boy who feels entitled to her help, but spending more time with him she realizes he’s more than what she assumed and what he presents to everyone in the halls of their high school. They form an unlikely friendship that started with blackmail, but ends with feelings Darcy is confused about. She’s been in love with Brooke for so long, and hasn’t had feelings for a guy since she joined her schools Queer and Questioning club. All worries about being judged by her friends for falling for a guy aside, things with the locker go left, like way left and she’s in big trouble.

I don’t want to spoil too much, but yeah I just loved this read. I think that it represents a side of being bisexual that is often considered a co-opt when it comes to writing a queer story about a bisexual character, but I think it’s important that someone who falls in love with a person not a sex is represented fully. I do wish some of the relationships were fleshed out a little more, but I realize this story was more about Darcy figuring things out. I love that there is a variety of LGBTQ+ representation, and that it was easy to fall in love with even the side characters.

All in all this was a great read. At first you’re going to want to shake Darcy a little bit, but she’s a good character that you will fall for. At least I did.

This book is for the bisexuals. It really has the kind of bisexual representation we need more of.

When she is caught one day opening the locker by Alexander Brougham, he asks her for help with winning his girlfriend back, only this proves to be a bit more complicated than the relationship advice Darcy normally gives…

As I said, this book truly is for the bisexuals. For the bisexuals who struggle with internalized biphobia, who get told they need to choose a gender or get weird looks when they tell someone they’re into someone of another gender when they’ve mostly been having feelings for people of the same gender. It even addresses how people from within the community can unknowingly perpetuate biphobic ideas, which is so important to talk about. But it also celebrates bisexuality, with a main character who is proud of her bisexuality and who finds solidarity within the Queer and Questioning Club at her school.

The development of the relationship between Darcy and Brougham feels very natural. Darcy misjudges him initially but eventually finds that she was wrong about him, although she still isn’t afraid to call him out when he says something she doesn’t like. Seeing them grow both as individuals and together was so incredibly lovely; it’s been quite a while since I read a book, especially in the contemporary genre, in which I enjoyed the romance so much.

Let’s not forget about all the other important relationships in this book though. Darcy’s relationships with the women in her life are very important to her, and it’s always nice to see a book where the main character has important relationships beyond their romantic one. Her sister Ainsley is transgender, but that just happens to be part of her just like her being a YouTuber and fashion lover is. Her relationship with her best friend Brooke is arguably the most important one, even though it is complicated by several things, but I really liked the way this was all handled.

If you’re looking for a lovely YA contemporary with amazing bisexual representation, a well-written romance, complex female friendship, and fun high school drama in the vein of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, I would highly recommend picking up this book in 2020!
