ok i loved this one. SO addicting to read. to be honest, i couldn’t put myself to care about american politics so those parts went right over my head, but the romance and the writing were everything. the letters!!!!!! made me go crazy. some might say it was a little too long for a ya novel, but i liked how the author makes an effort to explore each characters’ stories and their dynamics with each other, how you can clearly see she created this more hopeful reality in the midst of the crisis that were the years following 2016 for the us, and how she ties everything into a little bow at the end. honestly i barely noticed the length, it was so good i read this in two days. honestly i’m tired of books about trauma and depressing analogies to our society and how we’re doomed or have so much to learn or whatever when our reality is already so heavy. here’s to more books about just people being gay and human and happy at the end.
