Some Girls Do

Is this is what coming out feels like? Is it always this bad and drunk and confusing?

Honestly felt that and it’s getting annoying that everyone starts acting different 

Just because I like girls doesn’t mean I like every girl 

In another universe, we’d probably be dating. But we live in this one

it was pretty boring but I might come back to it later

it was pretty boring but I might come back to it later 

it was just okay, more like a 2.5, it was the first audiobook I’ve ever finished so that’s a good thing, but the bad thing is that— as much as I hate to say it bc i love lesbians— morgan annoyed the hell out of me and I NEVER condone outing people without consent even if ur dating. immediate turn off from the whole book that the narrative depicts that as okay, but u know, cheesy cute sapphic romance so it was okay

           this book was okay, however, what really ruined it for me was the storyline where morgan wouldn’t date ruby unless she was willing to label everything and i know by the end she’s come to the realisation that what she’s done is wrong but it’s too late by then because she’s spent 150 pages going after ruby

This book is amazing. There is no other way to put it. From the first chapter i was immediately hooked. This book kept me guessing and reading the whole time. The issues that is addressed were also super relatable. Anyone can learn a lot from this book, no matter what age. Overall great book and i rated it 4.5⭐️. Thank You PenguinTeen for sending me an ARC!

This book is definitely worth the read! It’s a cute contemporary romance between two girls. One girl does pageants and fixes cars which breaks the stereotype. They start as enemies but quickly grow to love each other. The only sad thing was that it wasn’t a slow burn, but that’s just personal preference. 
“Some girls do” reminded me of “she drives me crazy”. So if you like one of the two, you most likely will like the other as well!

The first half of this book? Super cute. Fun banter. I liked it a lot. 

Second half of this book? (view spoiler)[ All the characters did was fight. It was 100 pages of fighting and then almost making up and then fighting again. I lost sight of their chemistry and I got bored.  (hide spoiler)]

Even though she realized what she did in the end..... I'm disappointed in Morgan being a pushy, manipulative girlfriend. And of course.. she kind of gets what she wants which makes it seem not so bad.
ALSO- at the beginning we know how Ruby feels but Morgan doesn't and repeatedly, Ruby asks Morgan to stay away and she just keeps pushing it. Trash.

This was such a cute romance! I honestly had no idea what it was about, but the cover was cute, so I bought it and I ended up loving it. This book had all the feels and was full of such cute couple moments between Ruby and Morgan (which speaking of, I hope to one day have just a speck of the level of confidence that Morgan possesses).

was reading this on the bus while going to work and back. it was great to focus on something and take my mind off whatever my thoughts are in the mornings and evenings. it’s more of a 2.5 star-rating. just because the core was too weak for my personal liking.

This book was wonderfully done and well realized and the teenagers felt like real people, with real complex issues and lives and families. 

I stayed up past my bedtime to finish this and I have work tomorrow, oops!

This book felt like everything I needed as a teen and an adult.

I really loved this read!! I thought this book was not only super fun but also had so many important convos and really important look at bi lifestyle and also just a super fast pace read. I also loved how the characters had different hobbies that really captured them. This book also tackled larger LGBTQ+ issues. I also really thought this book had seamless diversity that just made me smile so many happy moment or heartwrenching moments bought me to tears! Brava again!

In this YA contemporary queer romance from the author of Hot Dog Girl, an openly gay track star falls for a closeted, bisexual teen beauty queen with a penchant for fixing up old cars. Morgan, an elite track athlete, is forced to transfer high schools late in her senior year after it turns out being queer is against her private Catholic school's code of conduct. There, she meets Ruby, who has two hobbies: tinkering with her baby blue 1970 Ford Torino and competing in local beauty pageants, the latter to live out the dreams of her overbearing mother. The two are drawn to each other and can't deny their growing feelings. But while Morgan--out and proud, and determined to have a fresh start--doesn't want to have to keep their budding relationship a secret, Ruby isn't ready to come out yet. With each girl on a different path toward living her truth, can they go the distance together?

Loved it. Quick read and easy to understand. (English is my second language) The characters are really sweet.

I loved the different perspectives and it did make me cry, which is unusual. I loved and hated some things at the same time and i think thats whats makes it an amzing book

Can my whole review just be heart eyes and the sobbing face emojis? Because that would be the most honest. 
I loved the character development, the relationships, the banter and the swoonworthiness of the romance. I just wanted to give Ruby a hug. 

Thank you to G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers and Edelweiss for the eARC.

A heartfelt enemies-to-lovers romance exploring coming to terms with your identity and the difference of coming out experiences, the big and small ways in which you can reject homophobia, the importance of communication, the often heavy weight of parental expectations and paving your own path in life.Both Morgan & Ruby's individual voices were engaging and their stories emotional. This is an adorable love story but it's also so much more and I think Jennifer Dugan presented this in a great way throughout this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and highly recommend the audiobook, as the narrators were fantastic.
