This is such a well-written Star Wars tie-in. I really enjoyed the way the plot flowed, the way that the secondary characters were developed, and could absolutely see this being a movie. While I really liked E.K. Johnston's Star Wars books, they can feel a little bit disjointed and this one didn't - part of that might just be how disconnected these characters are from the Big Huge Main Plot, whereas Padme and Ahsoka are more closely tied and so there's more tip-toeing around canon. Anyway, more books like this but with queer characters please! Even though I absolutely adore my heterosexual space parents.

This book was so sweet, and cute, and hopeful, and both ridiculous and so real. I had some trouble getting used to Gus’ voice and internal monologue, but I got into it and then loved every bit after. The ace rep is something I’ve never seen like this before (and have barely read any ace books but still this was so fleshed out and well rounded and not just like, ‘they’re obsessed with swords not sex’ and leaving it there. This all felt like a slice of life and I feel like I learned about people while reading it. Some of the moments are so, so funny, some are vaguely devastating. I have been personally victimized by TJ Klune for how he ends this book but it also reminds me of the end of the “You Are There” episode of Xena and we all know what the answer to that question was.... and I choose to believe the answer here was similar.

This was my favorite John Green book, and I absolutely adored David's chapters as well. I feel like this had the most connection to my own life... it answered a lot of questions that I didn't even know I had inside of me.

I don't even know how to put this into words, but just having a happy ending in a love story about two women means more than can be expressed.

What a wonderful world!
