No matter how small, every character seems so vibrant with their own story and interpersonal relationships with not only the main character but everyone else around them, which I feel is rare to find in a character. It makes the city it's set in feel that much more alive, and the plot to save a dying local diner that much more compelling. Add in a dash of magic that blends perfectly with the feeling of being a small part of a big city, an incredible found family, and a heist, and I'm not sure what could top this. And it also managed to make the subway romantic. I can't think of a single critique.
This book is so unapologetically steeped in queerness, both past and present, that it makes me want to cry. The emotional core of the story expertly weaves plotlines and history together in a way that had me sobbing. I loved this book.

For real, I thought the side characters were a bit more interesting than the main characters

It is always a pleasure to read about horny sapphics being unabashedly unhinged, loud and proud.
