- This book really digs in on big, messy questions surrounding transness and gendered institutions and spaces. Who has a right to be there? Who is permitted to do what because they do or do not conform to a binary? Should these spaces even exist?
- I don’t want to get too much into the details because I don’t want to spoil the journey. But I really hope lots of people will pick up this book and have some good, long discussions about the questions raised in it. I am very glad that it exists.

- As soon as I saw that THE DJINN WAITS A HUNDRED YEARS was compared to REBECCA, I knew I had to read it. And the comparison is apt, though this book is certainly its own work of art.
- I loved the slow unraveling of the family history in this book. There was no hurry here, and I was perfectly happy to follow along as the story carefully came into view.
- The cast of characters here is a delight, even amid the sadness. A house full of oddballs with their own secret histories, trying to find solace in themselves and with each other.

- Not to mention, we hardly ever see traditionally published sapphic romances featuring fat and/or butch characters, so this was a real treat.
- Honestly, SEASON OF LOVE is just a perfect example of what romance can do - explore hard experiences and topics with a gentle hand, and show the characters and the readers that everyone deserves more and better for themselves.

- Kiley Reid proves once again that she is a master of complicated, uncomfortable, multi-layered situations brimming with unanswerable questions and emotions.
- COME AND GET IT is a slow build of a book, each decisions the characters make pushing them closer to their individual and collective tipping points.
- In additional the race and class dynamics that animated SUCH A FUN AGE, Reid adds with this book gender and sexuality, creating a cast of characters and experiences that feel so real.
