I want to emphasise before I write this review- I am Scottish, and my copy of this book was published by Magpie, NOT Wednesday Books. I stand in firm solidarity with the SMP boycott and will not be publishing this review on Goodreads until St Martins Press acknowledge the racist remarks by their employee.
This was fun! I really liked the light world building, the idea of God's being conquered physical things affecting the world is really interesting and it adds a lot of whimsey into the bones of the text. Loved Iris and Roman, thought their connection was great, do wish it had been a little slower but I like how willing Roman was to give up everything for her. Bare minimum imo (kidding). The typewriters got me, I love friendships and hope we get more. Adored Marisol and Attie, tell me why I teared up when they were in the B&B. Very sad at points and deeply romantic, this was very enjoyable. Also that ending was devastating my God.
