As a book about the Romanovs, this book sure paints the Romanovs in a good light. * Context and knowledge on history of the events surrounding the story is important, and this book doesn’t really give it. While I’m not asking Romanovs to provide a history lesson, I wished the first half of the book can contain more information about the events rather than their dreary routine. However, as a fiction, with its slow pacing, lack of magic, rushed romance, and underdeveloped romance, this book fails to meet my expectations.

He’ll spend his time working at the Eezy-Freeze with his dad; cooking up some midsummer magic with his grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother (the Grands); and experimenting with drag with the help of the queens at the Shangri-La, the local gay club. I don’t know much about drag other than what I see from the mainstream media, so this book felt like an insight to their world. While Love & Other Curses has so many fun things going on with the sassy grandmas and drag queens all around, this book doesn’t shy around from heavy topics such as death, gender and sexuality, as well as being trans and having a drag self. I can’t say how accurate this book is in terms of representation, but I feel like this book gives me some insight and more understanding on the issue.
