ok Nora! On one hand I was happy for the cute friendship between Breen and her gay bestie Marco. I did feel like Marco consisted mostly of like cliches and Drag Race catchphrases held together with glitter glue, but, ok, we had a good time. And I did think her relationship with the drag queens at Sally's was really sweet. Hag representation matters.

I liked the portal fantasy aspect a lot and I am stoked that at the end, Breen told Marco about all of the magic stuff and also that he jumped in the portal too! I am excited to see Marco take on magical Tulum or whatever the fantasy land is called.

Overall based on what I've read I think I prefer Nora's contemporary romance but ehhh I'll prob keep on reading. Gotta chase that cliffhanger!
