This is a perfect book.
I missed a meeting because I could not put it down, these characters capture your heart and simply refuse to let go, this book was done so well that it has made me completely reconsider my position of popular trope - but I still think it's possible only Hannah can do it well...There is a humanity in Bo and Win that feels like I know them, I feel like I am cheering them on every step of the way and saying "you crazy kids can do this". The heart behind these pages shines through in every single interaction, in every moment you cannot help but root for them.
The love that forms between these two characters feels incredibly real, it is a soft "sweet nothing" love that feels like a soft place to land on all sides. There is one blonde man who deserves rights and it is Bo. I could go one about how much I love these two forever, and I just might but know that the care that comes with own voice authors just hits different and the story is no different here. This is by and far Hannah's best work and I say that as her biggest fan. It is such an honor to be able to read an early copy of this book and watch it take shape, I will love it forever probably? Easily one of my top ten reads of the year, no question.
