I wasn't super into this book at first. I found Arthur annoying, and I think part of that was the narrator for his chapters in the audiobook. I was hoping he might go through some character development and I'd like him more, which happened so gradually I didn't even realize it was happening until I was practically crying for him. The book in general has a bit of a slow start and it took me a while to get invested in the characters and get a sense of where the plot was going. The end kind of rushed at me and I found it hard to put down in the last 70%. There is a pretty big tonal shift after that point as well, I didn't expect it to go as dark as it did. I kind of wish this had stayed a bit more lighthearted.

I'm supporting the #SpeakUpSMP boycott. After almost 8 months of silence from SMP and Wednesday Books following the Islamophobic, Queerphobic and anti-Palestinian rhetoric by an employee.

Which is even more infuriating knowing this book was written by a queer person & is full of queer characters and love. But I won't share a review until SMP meet the demandes of the boycott.
