This is a book I wish I had when I was growing up, surrounded by those who told me I was wrong for being anything other than cishet. That the four POV characters in the novel are all queer and that many side characters are as well, it made the story all the better.
This is not a perfect book, but for a first novel? It was amazing and I'm so glad I finally read it. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. A definite recommended read of the year, and probably one of my favorite books so far.

I heard this book was like a queer ACOTAR and that immediately intrigued me, and I’ve been wanting to read it for quite a while. Turns out it was everything I was hoping for and more. It definitely did feel a little like ACOTAR, but also a little bit of The Cruel Prince (from what I remember from that book). But God, I loved this book. I couldn’t put it down when I really got into it.
