"The Victorian house became defined as a refuge, a place apart from the sordid aspects of commercial life, with different morals, different rules, different guidelines to protect the soul from being consumed by commerce. Or so it seemed."

I'm not normally into sch-fi but I absolutely ADORE this book. So excited that there's a whole series! Almost done with the first one, then I'm on to the next.

Nick gave Charlie his hoodie

Their little moments in class, playing rugby, texting, in the locker room, etc. are so cute. Totally obsessed with them

Screaming crying throwing up. THIS BOOK IS SO CUTE. I can't believe I waited so long to read this!

I love the artwork and I enjoy the storyline. The humanoid cats are the only part I dislike.

The half-human cats are... horrific, to say the least. It's worse than 2019 cats. Very imaginative designs, the art is technically sound and well executed, don't get me wrong. But yikes. Nightmare fuel.

Going in blind, I didn't expect this book to make me so emotional?? It's like a therapy session in the best possible way.

True love's kiss 😭😭 I literally had to put the book down because I almost started squealing at work.
