Soul-destroying sapphics what else is new.

Though less than 200 pages this book has fundamentally changed me. It has the perfect pacing and by the last page, you're satisfied by the story. Only disappointed you don't get to stay with the dynamic characters and witness their love one last time, for one last letter.

I started out confused as the sci-fi jargon was a little much at first but once I caught on I immediately fell into the story. It lit me up inside to see how the world worked and how the characters saw themselves within it.

Selected quotes:

"Dear Cochineal"

"Do you laugh, sea foam?"

"Dear Greater Than The Price of Rubies"'


Finding each other everywhere in the environment when apart. Realizing the only way, the only reason to do any of this is for love. THE ANSWER IS LOVE. THE REASON IS LOVE. WHAT IS THE POINT WITHOUT LOVE.

I am a sucker for epistles in general so a book written in and between letters was always going to have my heart. But I didn't expect just how much I would get wrapped up: giggling, tearing up and full tears at the end.

Once I closed my library copy I immediately went online to purchase a copy of this book for myself.

Wonderful writing and very unique. Loved it.

For whatever reason, it didn’t captivate me the way I expected, but it’s an objectively fantastic book.

Tell me something true, or tell me nothing at all.
Steven universe fan will love this one, especially Garnet enjoyer!

Read this in one go, couldn't put it down. Can't believe how big of a story is packed in such a tiny book. It's poetic and painful and gorgeous and beautiful all at once. Intriguing characters and plot. Tore right at my heart and took root.
