It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made my heart go doki-doki.
Somehow this book really managed to surprise me! I read Red, White, and Royal Blue (by the same author) and don’t get me wrong, it was okay, but this book? This book is phenomenal. August is almost painfully relatable at times. Jane is endearing and easy to love, and the clear star of this show. The aspect of found family in this novel hits me right in the feels, it’s depicted so well, and the whole cast has so many moments where they all shine as individuals.
In the acknowledgment at the back, the author writes that this is an “Unbury Your Gays” story. I have to say, if that’s what Casey McQuiston was going for, she hit this one out of the park.
Literally, I will read this book again.
I will probably read this book many, many times. It is too good to just be enjoyed once.
