4.5
enjoyed so much the way their indigenous culture was so beautifully written into the plot, the way Yami talks about colonization so casually, and she seed the impact of colonization in everyday things, I try to do that and I think people should do it more too.
Spoiler
I loved the plot, the gay panic, I loved the bi representation through a boy, because it feels like bisexuality is mostly female in mainstream culture. I also loved that there were queer siblings, like that’s common, why is it so rare in books?
Finally, that ending had me tearing up. I loved Bo so much. The whole fake girlfriend thing was kind of predictable and hilarious, also the gay panicking and overthinking everything? so relatable! made me go back to my baby gay memories
