    Not really a spoiler? Like, it is established in the first three pages and in the blurb.

    It is so interesting that this is written completely from an alien perspective so far and humans are the outsider. It remind me a tiny bit of Children of Time, but in a better way (for my taste). It is a bit confusing (only mildly) as the species has a completely different culture and ways of communicating. But I love getting into it so far!🤩

    This wasn't your average contemporary romance. There was so much more than just fluffy romance. And even if I wish for all queer people to get nothing but fluff in life, it just isn't realistic most of the time.

    This was a hard book for me to read. Amazing, beautiful and hard. Because even if every trans story is different, we all share the margins of the pain we go through. I had so many feeling while reading.

    Oscar and Aaron have messy lives on their own and somehow collide to form something different together. I loved them, their growth and the author's attention to detail with the setting and the characters. (Dot was my favourite side character, I have a Dot in my life too)

    While pain often is shared in queer communities, joy is too. To build a family and form a home, I believe no one does it better that queers with their allies, and this book is a perfect mirror to that. Queer and trans joy is something incredibly powerful and there it was on the page.

    Well, by the end of this book I had had more than one cry, had healed a little and was having big emotions. I'd love to take another round of this roller coaster.

    This was so cute! I love Mazarin and Em's relationship and their development.

    I also can't wait to jump into the next novel and find out what they will be up to!
