I really enjoyed this book! Keeping things as spoiler-free as possible, the LGBTQ aspect had me hooked and I can't wait for the next book. I think this book is a good comfort read in a lot of ways- although the world has societal problems (classism, homophobia) the characters you follow tend to be innocent, heart-of-gold figures who are trying their best in tricky situations.
Moderate: Homophobia
