i watched the movie prior to reading the book, and halfway through the book i said “i don’t know i even watch movies— books are superior in every way!!” i am absolutely obsessed with this book, and it has secured casey mcquiston as one of my favorite authors. this book was a lot darker and much more challenging than the movie. it has the depth and emotion that the movie lacked. this ultimately made the resolution far more satisfying! i cannot count the number of times i was almost driven to tears by the sheer beauty and hope and queer community that this book captures. love love love!!
