The characters are fun and quirky, allowing them to jump off the page. All the main characters feel like real people and operate around each other with interesting dynamics that permit the exploration of themes. Particularly, Harrow and Gideon feel like old friends to the reader, and watching them interact is pure gold. I feel like I could follow them anywhere. However, side characters often get lost in the shuffle, even becoming confusingly mixed up due to a lack of development and leading me to care little for their ultimate endings.

Once you get to the end, you’ll be glad to have stuck it out. I got pretty attached to the characters and their relationships.
If you’re looking for a lesbian romance, this is not the book. Yes, I guess, there are technically wlw interactions, but I personally wouldn’t count this as a wlw book, more like a book where the characters happen to be wlw. They could have easily been switched out for any gender and nothing would have changed with the plot so do with that what you will. Not to mention that the romance is… It was more of an interesting relationship dynamic to explore than the typical romance you would expect in modern books. Very enjoyable either way.
