I started this series after watching the Netflix show based on these books. I liked the plot of the show and was hoping that the books would have more to offer. I was hooked on the first book of this series right off the bat. The author does an amazing job of creating characters you can't help but fall in love with, and every chapter leaves you asking, "What's going to happen to them next?" The characters all become a chosen family and this series follows them through relationships, careers, moves, illnesses, and everything in between. While not all of the characters are LGBTQ+, the author does make sure that there is plenty of historical context in that department.

Old school San Francisco. The good old days. Makes me wish I was born in another era.
