Thought this was going to be the final book in the series, but looks like we'll have to get the ending in 2025. Definitely more from Rawl's perspective (not a bad thing, but a little misleading considering the title). I DID really enjoy seeing the different aspects of the world apart from Danray and I absolutely cannot wait for our final battle in book 4!

The writing itself was not my cup of tea (I have this problem a lot with classics unfortunately), but I will say that the reason that this book is important that this book exists for the lgbtq community is because it nonchalantly shows just how not a big of a deal queerness should be (especially in modern society for fucks sake).

You know what? I actually really enjoyed this book! Very much felt like a movie since it has a full cast for narration, and it was plain fun! If you like camp-y and humorous horror then you’re going to really like this one!

The entire plot wouldn't even have existed if our lead character just left her fiancé. 

 Like, I understand that it's completely unfair to judge an author based on a short story but this was just an ok retelling of 'The Gift of the Magi.' I'm gonna give a full-length work a chance, but so far I'm feeling like TikTok is leading me astray with the popularity of this author.  

A summary of my thoughts in 3 points:
1. Why are men?
2. Why are white women?
3. I wish she sang the songs during her narration

Please make this required reading for music courses. K thanks!

An absolutely wonderful way to teach younger people (and also late bloomers) about how to deal with coming into their sexuality. You can tell that this was inspired by personal experiences not just from the storytelling, but by its stunning artwork. This honestly could have worked without being under the DC umbrella, but I think having the brand recognition could be beneficial for getting people to pick up this book.

Dear Netflix,

Please make this into a movie. 

K thanks, bye!

This 1000% benefitted from having a tv adaptation and now I'm mad that Starz cancelled the show after 2 seasons.

It's always interesting seeing what inspires chefs, but the added layer of them talking about the holiday related foods and experiences that they hold to their hearts is definitely an extra treat. I honestly wish this was a whole series or a full-length book.
