Loved this beyond, beyond. Every word miraculous and just what it needs to be. Such gorgeously drawn characters, from the smallest side folks to the incredible MCs, each with powerful and deeply human challenges, layers, and growth. I adored the audio and can’t wait to have my hands on a physical copy - I will read it again. I loved it more than I have loved anything in a long time and it will stay with me forever.

This book was so fucking lovely. I rarely physically react to books, and was laughing out loud in parts and sniffing with teary eyes in others. 

It felt like two of my best friends were telling me a story from their own point-of-view.  Funny, poignant, relatable… just an overall delight to read.
