By far my favorite book so far this year. A beautiful look into the past for a time that often seems like it didn’t happen. This stuff often isn’t talked about outside of our community. I love this so much. The author’s note at the end was the icing on the cake. I love how much effort and research they put into making this as real as possible. I felt transported.

Cute story. Lovely artwork. The storyline was overtly real-life accurate. This is definitely a statement piece, not in a bad way.

This other review summed up my feels on the story: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/3f8b62a4-e692-43d5-995b-3aec095da095

Love it. Love the slow burn. Loved how Adam respected every single boundary Olive gave. I loved the demisexual representation, though I wish the word had been said and not just the explanation. I love how… I love the whole book.

My only “complaint” is not a real complaint. Choosing to read only own voices books can be rough. For queer books, this means authors would have to be open and out. It’s not anyones place to ask someone to be public about anything. And also at the same time, I really wanna know. It just seems so absurd that the main character in the book is demisexual and so well represented, it makes me hope there are others like me. And yet, it’s not my place to ask.

Very powerful

Cute story intertwined with fairytales and showing the reality of being an immigrant outside of the typical tropes shown in other stories 

A phenomenal story. I loved reading this. Would love to read more from this author 

Wonderfully adorable story. Love the sex ed mixed in. I’d love a sequel to this.
