This is such a liberal wet dream fanfiction story and yet i would be a liar to say i didn't thoroughly enjoy it lmao. The gay bits at least, everything about the political stuff made me roll my eyes and think about dyadya Petya Kropotkin shaking his head in disapproval or Emma Goldman setting a cop on fire or something idk. Overall i need to read more gay romance books is my conclusion.

So much sexual tension in this book, I love the gays. 3.5 stars.

i don't even know what to fucking say, man

edit after i collected myself:
This book is just fun! And fun! And then some more fun! It hit literally every single one of my romance kinks: enemies to lovers, secret relationship, forbidden romance,.. .

It has so much representation. There’s a bisexual girl openly talking about finding girls hot and I just! Love! Her! .

Another thing I loved: the characters are in their 20’s! There’s nothing wrong with ya books but I feel like there’s not enough books like these where the characters are in their 20’s 🙈 it’s THE age where you are trying to find yourself and trying to figure out where to go with your life and that’s what’s happening in this book too. .

And every single chapter was just perfect. It wasn’t boring for one second and there were a couple super *epic* scenes. When I was done I was crying like a baby. Amazing characters, (especially the women!!), great writing, the perfect amount of angst and humor and emotions. My favorite contemporary standalone for sure!

Si bien la trama es cliché y predecible (y me hace dudar brígidamente de los protocolos de seguridad tanto ingleses como norteamericanos), pude empatizar mucho con los personajes. Filo si es algo que puedes encontrar en ao3 y a veces sea ridículo, yo lo pasé bacán leyéndolo, me reí mucho y hasta me emocioné hasta las lágrimas con pensar que jamás vamos a presenciar algo así en el mundo real, pero que es bonito soñar de vez en cuando. Me hubiese gustado que me dijeran qué onda Nora con June porque that's definitely not straight at all y si aceptarían un love triangle con Pez 'cause he's asking for it. Le doy 4,5 estrellitas.
