Happy June, friends! I can’t believe we’re practically halfway done with the year already. It hasn’t been a blazing 100 degrees where I live so I’m not quite convinced it’s summer yet. 😛
I’ve got a few eARCs and physical ones to get through, which is a goal for June outside of reading queer books for Pride month!

Anyway, this post is not about feeling sorry for myself, so let’s move on, lol.

Look, y’all. My first Wibbroka book and I thought, “Yes! Finally reading what everyone else has been saying are a great YA contemporary pair!” And the thing is… Maybe I just went into this one with a lot of expectation. Perhaps I should have started with their first book. Alas, I did no such thing.

I just want to give myself a pat on the back for reviewing this book before the publication date. Lately, that’s been a real struggle. *looks at my review of These Violent Delights*

I enjoyed Lord’s debut novel, Tweet Cute, so I was excited to see she was releasing another book! It’s been a while since I read that one, but I found I liked both equally, and all for different reasons.
