When Whitney finds a pair of bright pink rain boots for her daughter Cayleigh, she thinks nothing of it—until the rain boots turn Cayleigh into a greedy monster who wants everything at once. Tired and frustrated one morning, Whitney runs into Chantal at a nail salon. When Chantal magically calms down Cayleigh, Whitney starts to crush hard in spite of her busy schedule and Chantal's eight month pregnancy. 

Chantal Mackenzie considers her pregnancy to be the stuff of legends. Not only does the baby not have a father, but Chantal doesn't consider herself a mother. After years of gender confusion, Chantal finally believes she's found the right label of genderqueer for her body and her feelings about it. Upcoming parenthood and her growing attraction to Whitney are both exciting—but also complicating as Chantal struggles to find the perfect term for her as a parent and ways of living in an aggressively gendered world.

A pair of neon flip-flops that seem to make Chantal ravenous, along with her increasingly vivid dreams about being a sorcerer, also make the last few weeks of her pregnancy memorable. As the due date draws closer, Chantal and Whitney's relationship heats up, and the two start to feel as cursed as they do cosmic.
