I completely adore this book. I loved TJ Klunes writing style so much. I laughed so many times and I just fell completely head over heels with the characters. Having this kind of ace representation is so important and the love story between these two is just beyond adorable and cute and so close to my heart. And that comes from me,someone that absolutely detests drugs.
 Cant wait to read the second title of this row, even though I will miss Gus and Casey and I am so looking forward to learning more about Josiah and his demisexuality.

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.

You were my good decision, Gustavo. My right one. I’ve always thought so.”

TJ Klune you’re sick. Sick and twisted in the head.

This book was so… oh my god. One second you’re laughing and the next your bawling your eyes out.
The scene where Gus hugs Casey and then Pastor Tommy holding Gus for the first time… no I literally cried. TJ Klune you’re paying for my therapy.


This was so sweet. I loved the exploration of grief and community. I love how ridiculous this book was, in true TJ fashion.

This was very sweet. Keeping this if nothing else, then for the feels.

*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
