That was...a ride. The idea was really good but the execution was just okay ig. The characters and plot had great potential but the pacing was kinda off. The middle part was so slow and for most of the time I didn't know where the plot was heading. That made it difficult to be totally invested in the happenings. Also, the romance was too rushed

I mean, talking once and boom they're in love? Meh

 
Two of the big plottwists at the end were kind of obvious if you paid attention (to the story and the cover *cough*) so they didn't surprised me. 

But overall I thought it is a good book and if you enjoy queer science fiction this isn't a bad pick.
