I received an eARC of this novel from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I absolutely loved this book. A.M. and Elliott’s writing voices mixed together so seamlessly, while allowing each character to feel very distinct. This book was very obviously a labor of love, and I really hope that they write more stories together in the future. The normalization of canes as mobility aids, and the way that they are treated as necessary tools and things to customize and beautify was really lovely to read. I loved that this story felt very self-contained, but also left the door open for A.M. and Elliott to revisit this world if they decided to down the line. So far, this book is a very strong contender for my favorite book of the year.
