5.0
I don't know if I devoured this book or if this book devoured me. A beautiful study in feminine rage, grief, hunger and sapphic longing. I was enthralled from the very first page.
Schwab made each of these three women so real, raw and easy to connect to in such different ways.
But my absolute favorite part was the portrayal of queerness through each century. How each of our main characters had to adapt to a world that didn't accept their sexuality, but survived and found love despite it.
Graphic: Toxic relationship
Moderate: Misogyny, Rape, Sexual content, Suicide, Violence, and Blood
