It made me have all the feels. The queer joy. The love. It’s like a hug and a breathe of fresh air at the same time. Even when it’s tense. I adore this book.

This was really easy to read and really engaging, and the magical/sci-fi realism was well done and enjoyable.
I feel like the main theme in this book is love: love of a person, a place, of yourself, family & friends. There’s so much love in the friendships August makes and I adore the people she spends her time with in NYC. The love for NYC is wonderful too. This community and the community in Billy’s diner too. How everyone bands together. The love within the queer community too and unquestioned acceptance of each other as well as the supernatural elements was great.
I think identity, relationships, family, love & loss were all approached really well. The characters were fantastic and I could totally read a spin off book on any of them.
I thought parts of the plot were predictable but I didn’t mind one bit.
Super queer, super loveable, fun and a wild ride.
