I have always had a soft spot for romances that feature bizarre, impossible scenarios with very real, human characters in them. That’s the draw, right? We know these things don’t happen in real life, but the characters feel like someone you could meet on any old day, so the story feels closer to you somehow.

This Day Changes Everything is the epitome of that feeling.

Leo and Abby are two confused, anxious, queer teens who have a singular, whirlwind day together in NYC. There’s no way they realistically would’ve gotten away with it. It’s utterly fantastical. And yet Leo is sitting with very real feelings of anxiety and dread around his transness and Abby is still discovering exactly how she fits under the queer and they’re a little cringey and it’s all so endearing and human and very, very *real*.

This book inspired such a fondness in me in a way that only queer books can. I love a good “feel good” read and that’s exactly what this is.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC!!
