A lot of things about the book don't stand up to Fridge Logic. You sort of accept them as you read, but the instant you put the book down and start doing something else, your brain tells you all the things that don't make sense about what you've just read. Initially I found this incredibly annoying. After a while, though, the story became so engrossing that I stopped noticing. But those things are definitely still there, so caveat lector if that'll bug you no matter how sweet the love story is.

This was really easy to read and really engaging, and the magical/sci-fi realism was well done and enjoyable.
I feel like the main theme in this book is love: love of a person, a place, of yourself, family & friends. There’s so much love in the friendships August makes and I adore the people she spends her time with in NYC. The love for NYC is wonderful too. This community and the community in Billy’s diner too. How everyone bands together. The love within the queer community too and unquestioned acceptance of each other as well as the supernatural elements was great.
I think identity, relationships, family, love & loss were all approached really well. The characters were fantastic and I could totally read a spin off book on any of them.
I thought parts of the plot were predictable but I didn’t mind one bit.
Super queer, super loveable, fun and a wild ride.
