5.0

 witty and emotional, reilly's debut is the queer narrative of your dreams.

reilly immediately catapulted themselves as an instant buy author with this. greta and valdin is down to earth, funny and a extremely well crafted novel about siblings as they navigate life and their queer identities in their mid and late twenties.

an excellent, well thought out character study on a close-knit family that did not drag despite its subliminal plot. the short chapters helped a lot with that too. the characters are extremely lovable and you will root for them even if they don't themselves.

i would also LOVE to see this as a stage production.
