How are these two so cute!?
I mean, there was also plot alongside the “I’m so glad you’re in my life, but also now you’re IN my life and we have to figure that out”.
This book is doing a lot of quiet work thinking about gender and love and what a number of our contemporary conversations would look like airlifted into a different culture. (And also what does it mean to talk about the cultural when we’re in the realm of ethics?)
Anyway, it was super cute and obviously I went straight on to the third book.
