Like if The Umbrella Academy mixed with Miss Peregrines’ Home for Peculiar Children, but more wholesome and gay. Brimming with positive and poignant messages and featuring a lovely slow burn romance between two middle aged men. It was a light and easy read with a whimsical fantasy element. I absolutely loved Lucy, I thought his little dark mind was incredibly funny, and Linus was definitely a solid protagonist.
