What an adorable queer romance!! It suffers from a problem lots of vaguely supernatural romances do where the worldbuilding falls a little flat. The concept of Cupids and where they came from and how they work are all very nebulous concepts. But, if you’re willing to put that out of your mind, the story is filled with endearing characters and a heartwarming romance.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC!

This book was amazing!
I absolutely LOVE Mason Deaver's writing. They set new expectations for not just LGBTQ+ writing, but trans writing.
I loved Jude's personality and creativeness, It reflects how greatly this author's imagination and writing are. I really enjoyed the symbolism of what it is to be queer and in love, everyone telling you to stop, or this isn't right, but it is.

This book is easily one of my favorite reads of the year so far, I highly recommend that you read this book! :)

It was not a genre I liked (YA fiction romance). And I found the dialogue and interactions to be cringy.
