This book is so lush, so full of sensory details that never bog it down. It's also worth noting that I'm usually a quiet reader, but I made a lot of "Mmm" and "Oh" and "Oooh!" sound while I read this, because it hit me in all the feels places. It's also full of older queer people, and I want so much of that in my fiction.
