This book was so refreshing and engaging! A really impressive debut novel from Torrey Peters. It took me a little bit to feel connected to Reese and Ames, but then I was IN IT. They are both such beautifully constructed characters, and you could tell that they were fully grounded in reality even when they did and said things that felt over-the-top. Katrina, while clearly not being the Main Character, also felt so real and relatable. I loved following their struggle to make a family together, and the ways they were at once fully vulnerable and open with one another and holding back crucial feelings and information. And in the end,

I appreciated the way it was left uncertain, with some hope that they'll figure it out.
