Imogen, Obviously Goodreads Douban
author: Becky Albertalli publishing house: Balzer + Bray 2023 - 5
With humor and insight, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller Becky Albertalli explores the nuances of sexuality, identity, and friendship. <br /><br />Imogen Scott may be hopelessly heterosexual, but she’s got the World’s Greatest Ally title locked down.<br /><br />She's never missed a Pride Alliance meeting. She knows more about queer media discourse than her very queer little sister. She even has two queer best friends. There's Gretchen, a fellow high school senior, who helps keep Imogen's biases in check. And then there's Lili—newly out and newly thriving with a cool new squad of queer college friends.<br /><br />Imogen's thrilled for Lili. Any ally would be. And now that she's finally visiting Lili on campus, she's bringing her ally A game. Any support Lili needs, Imogen's all in.<br /><br />Even if that means bending the truth, just a little.<br /><br />Like when Lili drops a tiny queer bombshell: she's told all her college friends that Imogen and Lili used to date. And none of them know that Imogen is a raging hetero—not even Lili’s best friend, Tessa.<br /><br />Of course, the more time Imogen spends with chaotic, freckle-faced Tessa, the more she starts to wonder if her truth was ever all that straight to begin with. . .

读过 Imogen, Obviously 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
感情线非常普通,甚至有点俗,但讲真不太是重点,非常欣喜地读到了作者的两点很有意思又很罕见的讨论,一是双性恋在对不同的性别产生 crush时会有不同的感受,这实际上大概是包括我在内很多双性恋的真实体验,也是我认为很多双性恋区别于泛性恋的最大特征,但很少在遇到bi-rep的同时见到这么细致的讨论,可恰恰是这一点让双性恋本身就很模糊很摇摆的自我认知变得更加困难和自我怀疑;而是queercommunity里存在的严重的 gatekeeping现象,这一点在非单性恋群体身上体现得尤其明显,所以从一个自以为hopelessly straight多年的bisexual身上入手去讨论这一点变得顺理成章,其实很能理解 Gretchen的一些反应,但是以自己遇到的trauma去衡量别人的queerness着实不可取
