Why would it end like that?!  I’m just going to assume the We Three Queens are poly lesbians until informed otherwise.

The book was good and the humor was really funny.  The phone calls with Mitzi and Mytzy (which why would their parents do that?!) had me laughing for a solid minute.

The negatives about this book were the slurs used.  They just made me uncomfortable when he brought up a slur for Romani people multiple times.

*spoiler free* lovely novel. the best way I could describe it is it’s completely and utterly out of pocket. the characters are lovable. you will be giggling and kicking your feet at their romance and you also feel some major second-hand embarrassment. lovely asexual representation and discussions. also some great dialogue about labels in general. you have to get used to the authors writing style, but the repetition makes it quick to get used to. it is quite an older novel so be prepared for some slightly cringe humor
