Just... all the feels.
My rollercoaster of emotions was chaotic. I honestly went from anger to giddiness to "holy moly that was hot" to sweetness and then back to anger. I was ready to jump in the book and fight. But honestly this was such a great balance of real life and happy romance. I couldn't put it down and I really enjoyed getting to know these characters. Han and Kenny were just the best of friends and easily the sweetest couple. I was crying at their happy ending. Just... all the feels.
Overall, I highly recommend this book for all fans of LGBTQIA romance, MM romance, diverse characters, romances with heavy topics, and drag shows. Please read the trigger and content warnings before starting this book.

In that sense, with so much drama and intense things going on, the relationship didn’t get the time I think it deserved.
But props for making Han have his gay crisis before the engagement bc if he was faking all of it, I would have DNF’ed.
Jackie, you villainous bitch, I hope you’re rotting in book hell somewhere.
