This is the second book of the year for the bookclub! 

In the beginning I really liked it, but then during the middle I didn’t love is as much after talking to a friend about the book. But then later on I liked it again, but (!) the end, I’m sorry but it made me disappointed! I had hope for at least five other ways the book could end on that I thought would be a more real end but it was still interesting to read! 

I don’t know why, but I couldn’t picture the characters appearance a lot of the time :( and I mixed up Nico and Was which was annoying! 

It was a nice book to read and discuss with friends about! I didn’t love it but it was still a good book!

Took me exactly 11 hours to read!

As always i bloody adore this book to pieces.  This is my first re read and I was actually annotating my copy for a very special girl I hope to gift it too when I see them. 

It made me have all the feels. The queer joy.  The love.  It’s like a hug and a breathe of fresh air at the same time. Even when it’s tense.  I adore this book.

Una vez más, Casey McQuiston superó mis expectativas. Expectativas que ya estaban altas porque tras leer (en inglés) sus otros dos libros y amarlos, fueron superadas.
Necesito decirlo: CASEY MCQUISTON, AUTORE DE LA DÉCADA.
El libro es una obra de arte, como siempre, la narración es buenísima, y la razón por la que la estimo tanto es porque el tema del libro tampoco es algo fácil de narrar para que el lector entienda.
Me hizo reír, llorar, colapsar de amor, sentir que interrumpía las escenas más subidas de tono y, en ocasiones, enojarme con personajes.
Spoiler Ejém, cuando Jane se enojó con August y la trató como la mierda. O cuando August básicamente trató de puta a Myla.
 
Casey, gracias por escribir arte. Amé el libro, amé la narración, la trama, la tensión entre personajes. 
Lean este pedazo de libro, si tenemos gustos parecidos en alguna forma, les va a gustar.

I'm not sure if I've read a book with such a diverse cast before. If so, this one is still pretty high up there. Gay men, lesbians, at least one bisexual and pansexual person each, at least one trans person, multiple drag queens, mentions of non-binary people and gender non-conformity in general, lots of POC. All-in-all, that aspect of the book is fantastic. While the romance is a major point of the book, it didn't feel like THE focal point, which I enjoyed. I would say that, really, this book was about finding yourself, finding a place to belong, and found family. Equal parts sad and inspiring. I don't have much of anything negative to say about this book. I suppose the pacing felt odd in some places, but that could be because I had to return it mid-read due to holds, and wait to finish it. All-in-all, very worth the read.
