This book is queer to its core and evokes such a varied range of emotions.
The relationships whether platonic, romantic or familial are complicated and endearing, even though we essentially follow them through the most mundane of activities.
I don’t usually enjoy a book that lacks a plot but the characters are so brilliant, and there’s so much humour whilst also touching on really important subjects it really doesn’t matter. A triumph for representation and a joy to read.
