It was so difficult to put down. It was so sweet to see how quickly Tam (now uses they/them pronouns) was welcomed back into their lives for who they are no questions asked. There are also a few parts of the story where Nova discusses her hearing aids and being nonverbal as a child has affected her in a world where disabilities are not taken seriously. Also her hearing aids match Tamโs hair!!!! So cute. ๐ฅน
A running bit throughout the story is about Novaโs best friend being a skeptic of magic, yet still helping their family with whatever they need and discussing how she wishes they would just use science to explain everything ๐ I love a supportive bestie.
Are you interested in graphic novels? Consider picking this one up! It would be a great choice for the #TransRightsReadathon too! ๐ซถ๐ป

This was such a warm story, written with heart and beautifully drawn. The main romance was sweet and healthy. I think the grandmothers were my favorite part, I want to be that kind of wholesome-but-feisty when I'm their age.
I'd have given this five stars except for some cliches, but they were all in good fun. I loved the experience and would definitely recommend it for YA readers who want to see Queer, Nonbinary, and/or Deaf representation!
