This book is aggressively queer in the best way; there is a love letter here to the community that springs up wherever it can grow, whether through kindness or adversity, and it's amazing to see. The characters are grounded and real despite the time travel aspect, and it doesn't shy away from the consequences of that either. I normally find romance novels of this length to be a bit much, but I tore through this book and despite the satisfying epilogue still found myself with post-novel depression. An absolute must-read for queer romance, honestly.
