I feel like this book offered such a nice story of coming out as trans and everything that comes with it. I really liked how it was focused both on Leo and Robbie, giving two perspectives. Leo was a great MC and the way he communicated with his father and how those dreams influenced the reality was a really cool aspect of the story. Leo's whole journey was great, both his social transition at school and his coming out to his family were in my opinion really nicely described and had a lot of emotions that really made me invested. I liked how different members of his family had different reactions to his coming out and the whole dynamic of them all was great.
Lastly, justice for Jackson's music taste, his bands are awesome! 

Just like the previous book in the series, this story was just the sweetest. Loretta and Joyce were delightful main characters and I loved how there was enough space for both romance and their struggles. It was really nicely balanced too, without infodumping too much and with a great pacing as well.

I really liked the pining through the whole book, despite being so jittery when they parted, but I think it was so much better that they left each other they way they did instead of some extreme break up (which is a trope that needs to be handled well for me to enjoy).

And the wedding stuff! It was so cute, how the various romances from the previous books had a place in this one's story! 
Last thing In would like to highlight is the wonderful queerplatonic relationship between Joyce, Will and Andrew. I mean, it's just so great to see such representation in a book!

Thank you to the author for gifting me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review, I really appreciate it!

I have mixed feelings about this book. At one hand, I really loved the concept and the worldbuilding, shifters and the way magic functioned in this book was so interesting, so it made me sad that I simply couldn't get myself into the book. Especially the first half made me feel almost frustrated, because the pacing just wasn't satisfying for me. I liked some of the characters, mainly Morgan and Prideaux, but overall felt that they were not fleshed out enough for me to connect with them. The second half of the book was in my opinion better, but still left me a bit dissapointed. I can't say it was a bad book, because there were definitely parts I liked, but I just wasn't enjoying reading it that much.

 This book was definitely fun, even during the times I wanted to take a spatula, teleport to the book and tell the characters to communicate better... But frustrations aside, I liked it, more than the first book in the series.
