Pride month pick for Alexi and I’s challenge ✅ this was incredibly depressing. But well-written, I enjoyed it

Wow I absolutely loved this so much. It is beautifully written and so visual; I could easily see it all playing out in my head. So many feelings about legacy and wanting to be understood and have a place to belong.

Started off really great but I felt the last few chapters felt forced. So much potential!

Nina knows how to write a beautifully sad, sapphic story. Painful in the best and worst ways.

I adored this book and feel so deeply for Sara and Emilie. I was enraptured by their stories and couldn't put the book down.
It follows Sara and Emilie's lives separately from being teenagers to adulthood (mid-late twenties). Focusing on their grief, pain and loss and the hopefulness of finding and becoming themselves even through the reminders of their pain. You want nothing more than to see them happy on their own and more so together. The pull they feel to each other was palpable and had me aching for their happiness.
This book was beautiful, heartbreaking and bittersweet. It's life, with all its uncertainties and how we can choose to move forward, choose happiness and to live again with those we love, in spite of how painful our pasts have been.

Really liked the prose. emilie’s character development was god (and thank GOD because she needed it) but they never really explore sara’s story despite how heavy it was
