Just as I expected, they were fantastic at it. I really related to August in how she's been in school forever and doesn't know how to not be in school (I felt more than a little called out as I'll be graduating in May). I loved Niko and Myla and Wes and Jane and Isaiah. Each and every one of these characters were so unique from each other that I never had to wonder who was talking.
I don't think I was expecting the magical realism aspect of it but as soon as that showed up I was like "you know what? I actually like this, yeah, this is working for me." I wasn't sure how it would end and I thought it could go either way and still work. (Ending spoilers)
I also appreciate Adult books that have tenderness during their sex scenes. Which is another thing McQuiston does well. The sex scenes in this book are always accompanied with moments of romantic tenderness between the two which was lovely.
Reading this book was so much fun and I can't wait for their YA debut later this year!

9th book of January 2022 and 9th of the year:
Another amazing book by a favorite author! I laughed my butt off throughout the entire book, fell in love with all of the characters SO quickly, and loved all of the representation and the queer found family aspect in it. I fully want to read an entire book series based on Jane’s life, and I also can’t wait to start the author’s newest book! Some author-provided TWs are (on page) drinking, light drug use(weed), semi-public sex, sexual content, exploration of depression and anxiety, memory loss and cognitive issues, familial estrangement, familial death, grief, missing persons, implied PTSD, and (off-page/past/alluded to) homophobic violence and hate speech, police violence, the AIDS crisis, racism, childhood neglect, arson, and a historic hate crime resulting in loss of life📚♥️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
