Another incredible book from Hoang that I was so excited to read - this really felt like a book I could get to grips with the narrator in and in the afterword Hoang says that Anna was the character she felt she could connect to the most. This emotion really came across and she was instantly vibrant and jumped off the page from the offset.

My main complaint about this novel is actually that I wanted it to be longer! I wanted more about Quan and more about letting each other in. An even slower burn! I just didn't want to let go of them! I feel like the whole period when Anna was struggling after her lowest point and he was just there for her was magnificent but as a reader I needed more reason to believe in and invest in that. I also didn't know much about his background!

I will still instantly preorder anything Hoang writes!

This story was incredible - intricate and creative. I read it despite being in a really busy time at work - little by little in every break I had because I couldn't stop without finding out what happened.

The main characters of the novel are representative of a variety of orientations and help a young adult reader explore fluidity of gender in an empowering way. I feel like a little too much of the novel was focused on this, however, despite how likeable the characters were.

I wish the mystery lasted longer or was more intricate, but the concept was very intriguing and the story was very readable and enjoyable.
