This was cute and fun while also touching on some rather interesting topics. This gave off some real-life Avengers vibes, but much more gay which I am here for. I loved the in-depth look into queer culture through history. The story is written in a rather interesting way with two separate stories in two separate times, but with a lot of similarities. It shows that queer people have always been here. We have been a part of so many big things, but often, those voices were silenced or stolen because of the risks of the time. This ultimately is a story of self. For Patrick, it's self-acceptance. For Will, it's self-respect and not letting others get away with treating him in a way he definitely doesn't deserve. There is so much community and heart going on here that this felt so comforting to read. It's uplifting and heartfelt. Patrick and Will learn to take back their own power in different ways and not allow others to have power over them being who they are. Overall, I had a great time. This was so much fun.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
