This book crumpled me up in a ball then threw me in the recycling, and I loved it. You get the musical content, both of Broadway and of compositions, and major Glee vibes (back when it was good). Told in alternating timelines, we watch Quito and Emmett tiptoe towards love in such a beautifully real way. I also loved so many of the side characters - Jee and Quito's dad are so fleshed out and vibrant characters. The book flew by, though it totally blindsided me near the end. Such a stunning debut, Dominic Lim!
