Not necessarily bad but this took me forever to read. Months. So slow. But there were some scenes I really loved.

A stunning stunning novel. Weaves an emotional and sweet story of first love amongst a carefully researched historical context. Lily and Kath's love and the barriers they faced in 1950s San Francisco, as well as the commentary on the treatment of Asian Americans at the time was really well done. A moving portrait of what it might have been like to be a young Asian American lesbian in the 50s. A book that will stay with me for a while.

I really enjoyed reading this. The story was emotional and heart breaking. The characters were very well written, but the writing just fell short for me.

I was so looking forward to this book however it just didn’t engage me as much as I anticipated. It felt too long for the little amount of plot that occurred. I still enjoyed it, however I didn’t feel gripped until the book was nearly finished.
