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!!

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.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I think it could’ve been a little shorter and edited a little better, but the story itself was heartwarming. If you have a hard time reading about homophobia or abuse, this may be a difficult one to get through.
