This book was intense, and sad, and filled with characters full of strength but lonely in their plights and fights, forced into facing adversity, sometimes even forced to be someone they might not want to be by their parents. This last part touched me deeply, since I struggled with that a lot and it led me to therapy for the first time.
It’s a book about love at first sight, but the struggle to be loved when you don’t love yourself and when the world made you feel small and unwanted no matter how hard you try, specially if you’re queer and Black.
It’s also about friendship and when to be there for friends and when you should take care of yourself so you can be a better friend.
It’s about mental illness, depression, anxiety, self mutilation, about being gay, bi, polyamory, it’s an open door to hearts and souls.
Loved every bit of it, even if it tastes kind of sad, if it is so true to the lonely lives we live inside ourselves with our traumas.

the diversity of characters, the lgbtqia+ romances (including some polyamorous too!!), the reflections on how it is to be a black woman in certain careers, ugh i could go on and on. this is a MASTERPIECE!!!
i really enjoyed the development of grace’s character (MC) and how she was able to acknowledge that her feelings are valid and how she is able to bring that into her day to day life and i just found the entire process of said development to be quite inspiring
again, absolutely loved this book and would for sure read it again in a heartbeat
