A good narrative and I read it while listening to Taylor Swift's Lover album.

I cannot recommend this book enough. It is queer, it is relatable, it is raw, it is beautiful. Bates packs so much emotional kick into every single one of their short poems, and it leaves quite the impression. So absolutely fantastic.

This is very instagram style and does run into a problem with too many cliches and not enough poetics, but I really enjoyed it. It's warm and it's so wonderful to see something so unapologetic lesbian. Read this if you're looking less for flowery language and more about authentic queerness.
