"I love that the main characters replace something lost instead of just coping with it and forgetting about it. The storyline is amazing, characters are 100%, mega, mega, character growth. Lots of gay and trans/enby rep. I feel like if re-read this a bunch of times"

"I love this book so much. The characters are diverse but it doesn't feel forced at all and the way they interact with eachother you can tell that they really care about eachother. I loved the love story between Mia and Grace. The art is beautiful and I love how it uses negative space. I also love how it's science fiction but not in the way that Starwars is science fiction. And the unexpected found family made my heart melt. "
