4.5

albeit a somewhat predictable ending this book still manages to pull at your heart strings the entire way through. it has wonderful representation and references to history especially LGBTQ history. Evelyn is a very complicated character but she is beautifully written in a way that makes her both lovable and dislikable at the same time. overall it is a beautiful book with beautiful lessons. i wish we had gotten to dive more into her childhood and not center the book around only her husband but after all isn’t that the point.
