    I’m so grateful you reviewed a recent, good, happy book! Following your recommendation i got it as an audiobook, and i freaking loved the story (the reader was like 7/10, listenable but like, not hot, which makes me questions how he was allowed to read books for a living). It’s so cute, so gay, so cheesy in just the right way.. think fanfiction type tropes you secretly love bc you’re trash. Also: Parnassus is Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle. once you see it you cannot unsee it.
    The only thing similar I’ve read is Out Of Salem by Hal Schrieve, which is Very LGBTQ rep YA but like... not nearly as fairytale? It’s about like activism and solidarity, so hopeful but not skimming the crapsack world for romantic stuff. But it’s very very good and I really recommend it!

    It's About these two sisters that are separated and one is shipped to America while the other is married off to a slaver and you see the perspective shift to the next in line with a new chapter and all the characters were soo memorable and soo amazing and honestly made me cry and PLUS it's such an easy read (not to say that the writing isn't articulate ITS VERY GOOD but also very easy to read (which I feel makes an author better if they can do that))

    I am raising a red flag on this one. This book is rather controversial, to say the least. Klunes source material for this book was Canada's Sixties Scoop. Considering the history of Canadas residential boarding schools and the latest news (the remains of 215 unidentified indigenous children have been found at a former residential school), this should not be praised without proper education on how this book came together. This author is exploiting indigenous trauma for profit.
