This book has a Middle Eastern Jewish protagonist with magical powers, homoerotic best friends (they literally kiss in one scene), respectful treatment of sex workers, anticapitalist themes, wholesome parent-child relationships, and a tragic ending!

Let’s start with a work comedy, a dash of romcom energy, and toss in some drama about self-discovery and familial issues. Kinda boring? Don’t worry! We’ll also add in government conspiracy, alien invasions, and giant monsters! Plus a bit about the evils of capitalism. Can’t forget that. Still not sold? Well let’s double down on the romcom with a fledgling relationship! Oh, and include some other side romances with at least a few on-screen LGBTQ characters and relationships!
