I wanted to love this book and I liked the characters. But parts of this book felt unnecessary to me and I didn't really enjoy the structure either. My biggest issue is that it never seemed to reach the level of emotional intimacy that I felt like it was leading up to. But overall I'm happy that I read this book and it got me out of a major reading slump.

I love Nina LaCour’s writing and this was no exception. I thought this was raw, real, and emotional.

Good writing, nothing bad on the book, just a bit too depressing/heavy  for my current vibe (see content warnings)

i felt like there were heavy emotional aspects that weren't treated with the sensibility needed, but it's a good sapphic story
