I absolutely loved this book. The writing style was refreshingly unique, and it was filled with beautiful descriptions and ideas. Switching between perspectives and time periods gave the book a whimsical and timeless feel that perfectly matched the content of the story. Finishing this book was the first in a long time where I have been wholly heartbroken to not have more of the story.
In terms of the romance, everything was handled perfectly. Having grown up in a world where queer was treated like a curse (much like Danny’s world in Michigan), this book was everything I needed. Platonic and romantic love were weaved together in the truly inseparable way it should be. I was a bit worried when it seemed like the author was weaving a love triangle between Danny, Rush, and Imogen, but the romance was resolved so beautifully.
