While this is a well written book and quite moving in parts, I found it the pacing too slow. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right mode for it since it was a lot of angst and internal monologue. The majority of the book is spent in internal dialogue, which makes sense since this book is about two people exploring themselves and who they want to be. It just dragged for me. I really wanted to love this book, maybe I just had too high expectations for it.

Damn, I want to go for a quiet hike and look at birds now! Just like the other books in this series, the characters are incredibly cute, but not at the expense of complexity. I loved getting to know them, and I was surprised by how much I vibed with Alexei (aside from that specifi  religious trauma). There were some bits that felt a bit truncated and sections I wished I could have seen from the other POV, but overall this was an enjoyable and easy-to-devour read.
