aristotle & dante discover the secrets of the universe meets we are the ants!! this book made a habit of ripping my heart apart and then putting it back together. while a good bit of the story is lighthearted, it was much more intense and emotional than i expected. i loved every second though.

the imagery of the sun and moon, mat and luna, was EVERYTHING!!

this book is an instant fav!!

 Love the friend group here and that they are so far from perfect. Also that there are some folks who flit in and out and some questions about the group that aren't fully resolved.

Also much love for Xo and Jules's abuelo and for all of Mat's family.

I cried reading this. It was very honest in its representation of what it’s really like to come out. It’s no Simon Versus the Homosapien Agenda, but it’s not meant to be. It’s meant for the children of color, the children of religious family, and for the children who may have lost a parent along the way to finding who they are.

When I read Ander and Santi Were Here this summer, I was so captivated. This one is not quite as charming and engrossing, but I still loved it. Really fantastic characters, sweet queer romance, heavy themes (see content warnings), happy endings. Can't wait for their upcoming release in 2024, I'm jumping on it immediately when it's released.
