Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc of this book.
About to graduate from college, Hannah is interested in nothing more than an accounting job, time to party, and possibly a cute girlfriend. But then she meets Emily, they fall for each other suspiciously quickly, and they discover truths about themselves they never thought possible.
Things I enjoyed about this book: the queer diversity, the premise of Norse gods being reincarnated, the adventures
I thought the pacing left a bit to be desired, and there were some points when my suspension of disbelief was snapped. I also felt the writing was clunky in places and that most of the story was carried through dialogue instead of action.
My biggest complaint is that I really don't think this hit the mark it was going for with diversity. I can tell it was trying, but there were moments that were super awkward and cringeworthy with it.
