I balled my eyes out at the end of this book. My new favourite book of all time. Positive queer representation. A story of grief, love, second chances, reflection and introspection, I bloody loved the book so much and all the characters inside. I feel like I needed this book when I read it and I’m so happy I had it. I wish I could hug this book. I loved the magical realism. I loved Wallace and Hugo, Nelson, Apollo and ?May(e)? - read it on audio so unsure as to how she spells her name. So many moments in this book were so humane and beautifully heartbreaking but also so comedic!!!!! I laughed, cried and felt warm the entire read. I cannot wait to see what TJ Klune does next.
