This book was so good, I love Quito's father so much and the flashbacks to how Emmett and Quito's friendship and relationship developed. This book had so many lovely moments, but there were also some moments I just wanted to skip past, mainly anything with Mark. I love that the audiobook had actual singing. This also would have been great have dual perspective. Definitely a favorite for this year.

Cute until it’s suddenly not cute, I liked the intertwined present and past story, but think the two major events could have been spaced a bit more evenly to help the pace of the book.

Heartfelt, moving, lovely, and queer - plus, it made me cry. 5/5 ⭐
If you have the opportunity to listen to the audiobook, I cannot recommend it highly enough! The original song which comes up at various points in the book is actually performed with musical accompaniment, and it adds so much to the experience.
