Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!
The second I read the summery for this, I know I had to read it!
It was the perfect blend of historical and fantasy, emotional and hilarious, all topped off with flawless 80's vibes.
As much as I enjoyed all of the characters, I feel like we didn't quite need as many different perspectives as we got. It confused my little brain a little times especially with the third person POVs. That being said, each perspective was unique and every character felt extra special.
Joe was a really great MC with an emotional back story and wonderful character arc. It was easy to love him and empathise with him from early on in the book. I'd love to say the same for Ronnie, however I only really started to like him towards the end.
Of all the beautiful and colourful characters, I feel like my heart belongs to Howie. there was something about the dreamy way he's described and his easy going, mystical nature that just made him a tiny bit more special to me than the others. Well, Fergal is close behind, I couldn't help but fall in love with him too!
The rest of the characters, Lenny, Dory, Vince, Elana etc, were all amazing too and I'd bet that pretty much everyone would fall in love with at least one of them!
Story-wise, I'd describe it as a magical way for finding queer joy even in the darkest of times.
