This is one of those stories that's like a sigh of relief. From the bottom of my queer Jewish heart, thank you to the folks who brought this book into the world. As happy as I've been to see queer Jewish novels popping up in the YA sphere, it means even more to know there's stuff like this for adults too. I don't write "real" reviews anymore but I'm saving my notes from this book in case I get around to it—this work deserves a full review of its literary merits as well as my fan[redacted]ing over how it feels like coming home.
