5.0

This story really captures a lot of queer joy that is needed in the middle grade genre and just in books in genre and I loved every word of it. I also loved how the book took a deeper look into Will and Nico's characters,
especially regarding some of Nico's trauma and Will's troubles with extreme self doubt and anxiety
and how their personalities spanned into their relationship. This book was just all around a beautiful read and made me love Will and Nico's characters together and separate even more <3
