I'm shamelessly quoting from the Afterword and Acknowledgements of the review copy I was generously granted: this is "a book about the moon turning to cheese, [...] each chapter represent[s] a day in the lunar cycle, each chapter with mostly different characters in mostly different places in the United States, reacting to it in ways specific [to] them alone"

In order to solve her problems, Belle decides to kidnap her friend & elope w/ him on the eve of his wedding. Remarkably, after creating a lot of new problems, it actually works.

This was fucking ridiculous & I loved it. W/ an aromantic lead & a focus on queer platonic relationships, this was everything I didn‘t know I wanted. Millennial humor, in a smutty regency novel, & I would read 50,000 more words about Belle & Rufus‘s domesticity.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

This one made my head explode. The author combines the tragedy of fleeing Vietnam during the war with refugee camps and turns to internment camps and does a great job of depicting what it's like to basically lose 3 years of your life to something you have no control over. 5 out of 5 stars. Definitely recommend.

This was an okay mystery.
I l❤️
-the book references
-the quirky characters
-competent police & an amateur detective working together

I did not like
-so many minor character POVs throughout the book
-never got to really know anyone well because there were so many characters
- I didn‘t hate it, but I it was slow & I found myself skimming a bit in the middle.

Thanks to #netgalley for a copy of the ebook in exchange for an honest review.
