A heartbreaking, thought provoking and often funny book on Travis’s experienced on living outside of the gender binary. Such a beautifully told memoir.

This was a cutesy, easy read with excellent representation but I just didn't care for the romance or the teenage drama. Maybe I'm getting too old for it.

Eerie and very strange but completely captivating. I have so many unanswered questions and clearly prefer my stories to tie up nicely but I did really enjoy this one.

This was so freakin adorable! Cute, funny and so relatable. Momo and PG were perfect and the art and story were beautiful. Absolutely devoured it.

As always, SJM pulling it out of the bag for the last 200 pages. It was definitely too long and a few too many characters going on. Honestly just give me a book about Rhun and Day and I'd be happy but overall, I definitely preferred this book to the first, and that ending! Can't wait for CC3 now!

From now on, I want to be known as an inhabitant of Alphabet Soup Land! This book was adorable, funny and informative. As a queer woman married to a non-binary/genderqueer person, the information wasn't new, however it was presented and delivered in an excellent, inclusive, and often hillarious way!

I adored Legends & Lattes and this prequel didn’t disappoint! Loved seeing Viv’s ventures and the wonderful beings she met before she opened her coffee shop. Potroast, Satchel and Gallina being my favourites!

Loved the found family aspect but would have liked more from the side characters. Towards the end felt a little rushed but really enjoyed the creepy atmosphere and unexpected twists. Overall I really enjoyed this Dorian Grey retelling.

I don’t normally read mystery/thrillers but I loved this one. The characters had great depth and it kept you guessing the whole way through. I changed my mind so many times on who I thought the killer was and still didn’t guess it!
