This was...nice, I guess?
A fun, quirky story about a colorful and amazingly diverse cast with a supernatural pitch that I deeply enjoyed, but that I can't bring myself to obsess over like I thought I would.
I liked how quotable McQuinston's writing is, but found her dialogues a bit sloppy and in some parts it felt like the author was trying too hard to be relatable.
I couldn't exactly relate to the characters, either, and I think that was another thing that penalized the book in my eyes.
To sum it up, I liked the story more than its execution and I'm a bit sad that I didn't like this because it's been years since I've read a f/f romance book that touched me and, as much as I didn't hate this, I wish it gave me more than a couple hours of forced smiles and slight boredom.

August Landry does not trust people, but she trusts fried chicken.

"Long Legs is … a girl.
August’s age, maybe older, all devastating cheekbones and jawline and golden-brown skin. Her black hair is short and swoopy and pushed back from her forehead, and she’s quirking an eyebrow at August. There’s a white T-shirt tucked into the ripped jeans and a well-loved black leather jacket settled on her shoulders like she was born in it.

tbh i was really excited for this when i first heard about it that i bought it but later on i kept seeing more and more lower ratings that my interest also decreased. i’ve kinda come to accept i may like it but not love it either. 😭

Kept seeing it everywhere, ended up obsessing over it, then ended up almost hating it 😭
