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.
This was the feel good hockey/figure skating sapphic ya romance I have been waiting for. I loved both the hard hitting themes of parental abandonment and having to switch a sport when you are forced out of the season. As well as the softer themes of love and new friendships. Overall this made me feel good and it was such a fun read.
A brilliant study of language, WW 1 & 2 politics and the struggle to do the right thing when the right thing to do is rebel.
I think this might be the piece of literature people need to read at this moment in time who are struggling to do the right thing. Who are only thinking of themselves, and family and not the whole. this shows the struggle to do what is right. And that even the worst chocies are redeemable.
If you are going to read one book this year, let it be this one. We can learn from our history and past errors and change the course we put on if we work together.
Stunning, thought-provoking, and deeply impactful, The Knight and The Moth is brilliance personified. It masterfully delves into the very roots of the stories we tell, both for ourselves and for others, leaving readers with much to ponder long after the final page.
A cute sapphic hockey romance that touches on mental health, homophobia in the sports world, and most importantly how important communication is in relationships.
A delicious sapphic second chance hockey/morning show romance I didn’t know I needed! I fell in love with this book and now understand why people love sports romances
