This was an intriguing book set in a contemporary London. A heatwave and a whale trapped in the river Thames glues the story arcs together.
You follow a diverse cast of interconnected characters during one weekend, that is filled with almost soap opera-like drama, conflict and miscommunication. The deep dive into their minds widens the scope from this single weekend to their troubled pasts and uncertain futures.
The humor, that made me chuckle out loud, countered the heavier topics discussed in this novel. This, combined with the excellent audiobook, made this a very entertaining and fast-paced read!

When Downtown Abby goes fantasy and gay, you get an amazing story. This is exactly the kind of romantasy that I need. A story with believable and well developed characters, that takes place in a world that has enough elements to make the fantasy nerd in me happy. The mystery plot was, although not groundbreaking, enjoyable and coherent.
And of course the romance! Robin and Edwin are a sweet (and sensual) couple, that brings so much more to the pages than merely the tropes they are based on.
The use of consent throughout the whole novel is very well done. Marske should create a masterclass about this for many other writers (or just people in general).
