There are aspects I loved about this book and some that left me wanting. I loved the nonbinary language. It was great being able to see they/them in actual writing format. I thought it was interesting that at no point in any of the dialogue was someone corrected for accidentally misgendering or stumbling where they start to say her instead of them, but correct themselves and apologize. I feel like this happens frequently when I've been in group conversations with some of my nb friends.
It felt like there was some missing angst in the situations the two main characters found themselves in. I wasn't gripped in wondering what would happen next because everything read as informational instead of emotional. It could have been the perspective shifts. The angst in romance is what makes it addicting. This was a good book, but it wasn't as great as it could have been imo.
