This book very much felt like it was pulled from my brain at some parts. Parts of the different notes hit me so hard that I would have to step away from the book because it just felt too much. I think that is one of the great things about books. I loved the aspects of sisters and their relationships. There were times where Sigrid and Margit were either talking or talking about something they did as kids and could see my sister and i having those conversations or doing those things as kids.
It is hard to describe what i liked about this but there were so many things and now i want a rat tattoo....more

I have read a couple of other books by Cat Sebastian including We Could Be So Good and this is by far my favorite one.
One of my favorite parts of this book is was towards the start when Mark lends Eddie The Haunting of Hill House. He does this knowing that he has annotated his book and those annotations/the book could give clues as to Mark's sexuality. That is something that may seem small but can be such a big action. Lending someone a book that you have annotated is letting a person have a glimpse into your mind. It can reveal your inner thoughts and feelings about a book.
There were moments throughout this book that had me laughing and moments that had me crying. It was such an interesting look at the 1960s and how queer people still had to hide who they were. But the characters had these moments where they were able to show their true self to those who they cared about and could have those moments together and it still be a beautiful thing. One scene that made me sob on my lunch break while reading it was the scene where Eddie comes out to his mother and she accepts him. It is something that during this time is so brave of him and even though he knew she would be fine with it, it was still amazing to see her reaffirm that.
I loved how Eddie's relationship with his team grew throughout the book. He started with this negative impression and slowly showed how he was not that and the team showed him how they were not what he though they were either. The scenes with Eddie, Price, and Ard{} were some of my favorite.
Another relationship I loved was the one between Mark and George. It was an unexpected friendship but it truly warmed my heart and so many of the moments between those two especially towards the end tugged on my heart strings.
Overall I loved this book and I know it will stick with me for a long time to come. I cannot wait for the book to be released and I can fully annotate a physical copy of the book.
