What a fun adventure and insightful romance woven around a solid mystery. Add in a strong thread of LGBTQ+ history, and you’ve got a story that speaks to the many dimensions of queer love—with legacy and laughter in equal measure. This is a book that doesn’t just celebrate identity; it celebrates joy, banter, and the ache of finding your way through rivalry into resonance.
There’s a certain shine here, too, that straddles the line between rivals-to-lovers and something a bit more tender. It’s clever, it’s a little messy, and it’s richly sincere without ever losing its wink.
Kathryn Nolan is officially on my radar—and I’m already looking for clues about what her next book is.
Thank you Net Galley, Entangled Publishing and Amara Books for the copy I read
