Review:
Something about this series has me in a chokehold! I love the trans and queer representation and the fantastical situations that they get themselves in. I'm just constantly fascinated by the story and eagerly waiting what will happen next. I have a deep love for these books and I am so glad that I've gotten to read them.
The characters are my favorite part of this book. I love Courtney and Norma and Barney and their cast of friends and allies. The main three have my heart though. The way that they interact with each other is just exactly what I want in life. I just love it. It's not always perfect, but there's an underlying of love and care.
This book was more than I was expecting it to be. You think after two books I would be used to the balance of humor and intensity and emotional that these books give me, but I am always taken aback by it. Hamish Steele works wonders with these characters and I am left in awe.
I loved this book! I think it was a great follow-up to the previous two books and I really enjoyed it. I find myself having a certain level of emotions during this book. It's just this ball of emotion that builds up in my chest while I read the books. And I mean that in the best way. I love it! It's how I can tell if a book is really getting to me.
I love this book and I hope other people enjoy it to!
