The writing style/language isn’t necessarily groundbreaking, but to read a story of two young gay women who go through their struggles and ultimately have a happy ending was so lovely, especially knowing it was written in the 80s. There were some beautifully true depictions of those confusing early feelings that really resonated. It wasn’t my favorite book I’ve ever read but it was worth reading and I respect what it did for the genre and for the girls who saw reflections of themselves in it.
