I was so completely and unexpectedly taken with this book. I basically read it one sitting over 7hrs. And I already miss it!!
While the editing could have been tighter and it was a bit confusing/frustrating when scenes would change super quickly, I wholeheartedly loved this book I literally couldn’t put it down. I was surprisingly attached to all 7!! characters in this big, funny, and realistic found family. I also loved how self-aware the book was at times (looking at you, Roger 👉🏼), and how even though the main character was born into this world, there’s still so much that we’re learning alongside her. Also LOVE how wonderfully queer and racially diverse this was— definitely my kind of found family 💜
Highly recommend & need book 2 ASAP!!
