A pretty cute novella – 1940's San Francisco is depicted with a lot of detail, and I really enjoyed the characters and their discussions around gender (expression) & sexuality. Other than that, I felt like nothing much was happening plot-wise up until the very end. Same goes for the fantasy aspect: magic's not really relevant most of the time (nor is it explained in any way).
