5.0

This book took me a few weeks to finish, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I wanted to savor every page. This book touched me deeply with its authentic portrayal of sapphic love when life and death depended on its secrecy. This book is beautiful, heartbreaking, moving. I don’t know if a non-queer person would truly appreciate it, but I think it’s a mandatory read for all sapphics out there. 

Heads up, read the trigger warnings for this one. Definitely some heavy topics.

This novel spoke about heartache in a way that I didn’t know was possible. De Robertis wove in history, love, growth, triumph, fear, and so much more to create a deep emotional tangle the conveyed the need for acceptance and love in our world. The book was slow paced and had a lot of context, which made me take longer with it, but highly worth the read.
