ES:

El libro que necesitaba en el momento que lo necesitaba. Para aquellos a los que la sociedad nos ha hecho sentir diferentes y que no encajábamos en ninguna parte. Nuestro sitio existe y tenemos todo el derecho a ocuparlo y encontrar, en el proceso, a nuestra gente. 
Este libro me ha robado el corazón.

Recomendación: Si podéis, escuchad este libro en audiolibro. Una maravilla.

EN:

I found this book when I needed and it filled my heart. Very touching and emotional. For those who feel the world is cold and unloving...for those who don't find their place. Your place exists and your people are waiting you there.

LOVE THIS!!

✅ queer romance
✅ found family
✅ speculative fiction
✅ cozy vibes

A very sweet and quick read despite its length. Audiobook version is also very well narrated! A more optimistic cousin of Kevin Wilson's "Nothing To See Here" and a definite mood lifter.

The gays were gaying!!!!

This is one of the most beautiful books I have read in a long time. I struggle to write a review if not to just use words in a list. Heartwarming, wholesome, paternal, funny, beautiful, fantastic, clear, honest. 

I think the subject of discrimination is handled delicately and is well executed. I loved our main character Linus from the first page, J-Bone is also a personal favourite along with Talia. 

My sole criticism is that the first half of the book was paced a little too slowly for me but I am SO glad I picked it back up after a break - which I cannot state how rare that is once I put a book back on the shelf usually it is doomed to be ignored. However the characters were just so loveable (calliope I’m looking at you) that I was convinced. 

P L E A S E  read it. There were so many times I was giddy, grinning at the pages - honestly all but kicking my legs. The positive 2SLGBTQ+ representation is incredible and it’s so nice to read a book with queer characters where the relationship is so realistic and wholesome but not the main focus of the plot nor the characters.

this book genuinely felt like a warm hug. it was the first book i’ve finished in probably a year or more. the vibes it gave off (not content) felt like the vibes of watching the owl house. a wholesome story with a bit of danger. and the characters are all so unique and lovable in their own ways.
