I had intended on this being my last book of the year, and finishing it slowly so that it would end on new year's eve. Instead I couldn't put it down and I finished it two days ago at like three in the morning. I loved this book as a romance lover, as a trans person, as an Our Flag Means Death fan, everything. It's so good. It made me cry. I told several people about it while I was reading. I'd definitely recommend it.

I simply couldn't put this book down. I'm typing this review at 1 pm, while eating breakfast in my pajamas because I stayed in bed reading all morning. I've loved all of Allison Raskin's previous books, so I was excited about this one, but I also knew it would be a departure from how she wrote her other books. As someone who reads tons of romance novels, I think this one is amazing. I was completely absorbed by the story and its characters, and couldn't wait to get to the ending and find out how everything gets wrapped up. I think she did it really well and I can't wait for everyone else to get to read this in April.

This book is beautifully written and I'd definitely recommend it. I'll be honest and say it took me a while to get through, and felt a bit slow at times, but I honestly think my experience reading it had more to do with external factors in my life than the book itself. I'm glad I had the opportunity to read it and I'm glad it was written.
