⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh wow, strong pick for me. I liked this even more than the first book - The Space Between Worlds. Dystopian rebels fighting to keep their way of life and some people travelling the multiverse coming to interfere!

I love this type of science fiction. I stayed up late reading last night past midnight to finish this one. Definitely recommend!

Counts towards #lgbtqia2025 as well!

Kenyazero Sounds like an excellent follow-up book! I love when that happens ♥️ 10h
Kitta @Kenyazero yes I was pleasantly surprised! I thought it would be okay but it blew me away. 10h

This is such an interesting book. It starts out as memoir of Yale law professor Kenji Yoshino‘s younger days as he processed his “otherness” in American society as a Japanese-American, gay man. He talks about covering—attempting to act as white and straight as possible—then goes into related legal issues. There‘s a gentleness to his writing and some of the legalities are more important than ever in our current moment.

What a beauty of a book 😍 The setting is really, really amazing and finally something new and fresh. The characters are morally grey, both women have their goals and are working towards them. The romance part in this first volume is small and I'm totally fine with that. I'm also totally in for volume 2.

iread2much Beautiful edges! 2d
Jari-chan @iread2much Yes! It's such a beautifully made book 😍 2d

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs 1) While I was reading this most excellent tagged book which I highly recommend, there was much smelling and drinking of coffee. I love coffee but coffee doesn‘t love me anymore. But I swear I could smell and taste the coffee while I was reading. And I started craving it. 2) One of my fondest childhood memories is of my paternal grandmother pouring some of her cream and sugar coffee into a saucer and feeding it (cont)⬇️

CatLass007 to me with a spoon. My grandmother died when I was quite young so I don‘t have a lot of memories of her. That‘s why this one is especially precious to me. @julieclair Thanks for the tag!☕️ 3d
Eggs Coffee aromas can be quite evocative 👃💛☕️ 3d

I thought the characters in this were realistically written, real feelings, real dialogue - I felt so involved in their lives I found it hard to put down. Obviously Mike & Ben weren‘t the best suited but I think some relationships are like this 🤷‍♀️ and it was depicted beautifully- I loved the way we got to see glimpses of their past & the way we sometimes have to infer reasons for the way the characters are, we are trusted as readers. 🤍

Cathythoughts Great review 👍🏻❤️ 4d
