“No one gets to dictate the truth of who you really are.”
I had a lovely time with this romance filled with queer joy. Be warned, you’ll get caught in the thrill of the chase too, and in all the interlaced quests, and will turn page after page. Because this book isn’t only about a treasure (even though the hunt is super fun), it’s also about finding your roots, and choosing them as you find yourself. Eve and Harper start as complete opposites, yet their motivations are pretty similar. Both want to escape their “parental models” but try to find a connection with their familial legacy at the same time. At the beginning of the book, Eve is more advanced in this path, yet she will discover herself too. But Harper is the one with the most beautiful evolution, as she questions everything in her life, thanks to that article she’s supposed to write. That felt very empowering to see these women choose themselves first after living a life to do the opposite.
But what I loved the most is how their quest reveleaded a lot of different queer stories, sewed in the mystery. It was a very cute mirror of their blossoming relationship, but also particularly emotional (yes, I cried with the last reveal).
Thank you to the author and Entangled publishing for the access to the eARC on NetGalley. My opinions are my own
