cmq has pretty much never disappointed me. i’m biased entirely, but i also don’t tend to give praise where praise isn’t due. iksw was a fucking grand queer high school mystery. i fell in love with the characters and plot. i fell in love with this book. one thing a cmq book will do is take you there. this book felt like being 17, a sweating slushie in your hand and wind from the open windows in your hair. it felt like driving down highways and big laughs in the faded lights of a small town. it felt like finding yourself and knowing it isn’t the end, but holding onto it all anyway. as all cmq books have for me, it felt like coming home.
