Very good and raw and honest, but also very sad. I want love and friendship for all. Break-ups are hard for me, especially within friendships. I’ve experienced too many and I hate to see love lost.

I don’t remember if they use a deadname or not, but I know a non-binary character is misgendered sometimes.

I really enjoy the characters Bongiovanni creates, as they are always diverse and complex. The situations and relationships they find themselves in are also very realistic. This story captures the struggles of aging queers in a way that I haven’t seen before.

Very cool and very queer. Loved the diverse cast of characters. It’s a tale of four queer friends in their 30s navigating love, relationships and jobs. I will say that I feel like the story move kind of fast. But all in all it’s still good story. It’s like someone found a way to shorten the essential Dykes to watch out for by Alison Bechtel. I’d recommend us to Fox especially queer folks want to see themselves  depicted and what they read. The art is also epic. I always love the party scene because there’s so much to pay attention to add so many little details and make it awesome just a beautiful snapshot of honestly possibly queer real life.

Minor: Sexual content

Because of the slight sexual contact, and the cursing, I would not give this book to anyone under the age of 16.
