Nobody in Particular was more than a royal queer romance. Danni and Rose's story navigates young romance, new friendships, old friendship, grief, family expectations and obligations, class differences, and the fear of showing your true self even to your favorite people. I loved the banter and the honesty between Danni and Rose that had me smiling and laughing.
Their story comes with automatic support from some characters, and gas lighting an homophobia from others. Meaning sometimes I wanted to fist pump with joy, and other times it felt like my heart had fled my body and left a gaping hole of frustration and grief.
