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.

First of all, I really enjoyed this. Very cute, lotta heart. This being my first experience with TJ Klune's writing – this may be the weirdest thing I've read.
I think ultimately the tone was just so off-base from what I expected. I had picked it up expecting a mildly funny, tender romcom concept, and instead got an absolutely hilarious stumble into a romance. Gus was incredibly relatable, occasionally uncomfortably so. I wasn't crazy about the whole call-a-hipster-a-hipster thing, but Casey grew on me over time. It did feel like the author was throwing a bunch of things (asexuality, neurodivergence, hipsters) that he didn't exactly have personal experience with into a pot and stirring, and while I would've liked a softer/more earnest touch, the result was still tasty.
