i love james ramos. that could be the entire review but it wouldnt perfectly describe my love for this book. nothing i say can describe my love for this little universe james created. the characters felt so real to me and whenever i closed the book (metaphorically, because i read it on my kindle) i would have a moment of surprise that the world stopped existing. 
daniel, mona, and gabe were such unique characters that fit into each others lives so well despite how different they are. adding in phoebe and bridge and aisha, the character dynamics were perfect. this book has autistic rep (in male and female characters, as well as trans characters), as well as aromantic rep that wasn’t dependent on asexual rep. 
mona and daniel’s friendship made me feel so seen in a way i hadn’t expected. truly a perfect book.
