How do I recover from this?? Like???
- Explores the experience of undocumented people, and those adjacent and sympathetic to them
- Ander's art comes alive through the descriptions and whoever designed this book cover understood the assignment
- The romance is so full of heart and the community they have around them is so giving and loving and powerful and I adored every character in this book
- Not me crying at 1AM at work doing inventory, nope
- Moves us through the characters' lives as they begin to understand what they want from life and how to get it - there's strength in knowing that not every path is linear
- Very queer cast, with no shame and only pride in their identities; sex positive, fade to black
- There was a line that said Boy Meets World was a Boomer thing, and I need them to hold on a Millennial Minute, because we definitely claim that show, not the Boomers
TW: racism, grief, deportation, ICE, alcohol consumption; mentions loss of a parent, death of a grandparent
