Thank you NetGalley and Page Street YA for access to this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book was everything I was expecting it to be and more. I'm so happy I decided to read this. Phillip is a tough character, and not what I was expecting the main character to be. But that honestly just made it so much better. The found family in this book is cute, if not a little messy, but what found family isn't? The characters added a variety of layers to this book, and I honestly would love to see a sequel to this book, though I did thoroughly enjoy the ending. Overall I definitely recommend this quirky YA queer fantasy.
