Reviews

"A coming-of-age tale and queer love story that offers a thoughtful look at the fear of being different."

"I read this book in one sitting and adored every second of it. This joyous, loving book is the perfect blend of nerd culture and rom-com goodness. M. K. England maxed out their charisma and wisdom stats and rolled twenties every throw while writing this book!"

K. can be found drowning in fandom, rolling critical hits at the gaming table, digging in the garden, or feeding their video game addiction. They probably love Star Wars more than you do. M. K. is the author of The Disasters, Spellhacker, and other forthcoming novels. Follow them at MKEngland.com. Andr Santana is a NYC-based audiobook narrator on a journey to tell great stories.
