This book was pretty darn cute and funny. I definitely laughed out loud at parts. I think it would adapt really well to film or a mini series as a queer rom-com meets sci-fi. There were parts that were romantic clichés or predictable plot points, but I still enjoyed it. It was an easy, lighthearted read.
The tone and many of the cultural references throughout the story very much speak to a Millennial audience. This is definitely one that I would recommend to people in my generation or younger. I could see this being a really impactful story for someone who is discovering their sexuality or gender expression. And for anyone who likes reading romance novels, here is a good one with queer love and plenty of spicy love scenes to titillate. <3 ;)
