Beautiful read - life is messy but what is left at the end? Love as a practice - love as a way to move forward. Love as effort. 

The things I have critiques on about this book seem to still serve the vision, narrative & context of this book so very good read overall!

i enjoyed this book. the prose was strong, there were lovable characters, and i enjoyed the timeline. 

highlights - Tig is an amazing friend, the found family storyline really stuck with me, and the story overall was a reminder of how close all of us in the working class are to slipping into poverty. 

i am taking a star away because of the fatphobia and transphobia. the MC did improve over the course of the story, but there were very blunt comments and rants about these things.

Such a beautifully moving story of love, purpose and community. It took me a minute to get past the lack of quotation marks but by the end I think it made sense for the flow of the story. I loved watching the characters progress, find meaning and each other. Such an immersive queer story! And I loved it!
