This is the highest rating I've given a book in years I think, so I'm glad this was my first read of 2025.

I was hesitant going into this book because I always thought I didn't like romances (but I guess I was wrong) but I got it for Christmas.

I loved this. I like Harmony but as an Autistic LGBTQIA+ teenager who loves reading and politics I enjoyed every single second of Preston's POV.

I was sold on this book at "Fucking gerrymandering."
