This was such an amazing story. It hurts so badly-it’s frighteningly true, and no matter how badly I wanted it never to have happened, I couldn’t make that reality possible, but there’s so much good in there as well.
This book is really peak catharsis, with a lot of really good family and culture woven in. I can tell that McLemore made this with so much care.

My heart ached for Ciela and Lock throughout this whole book, which I read in almost one sitting. This book is a stunning look at sexual assault, survivors, and the power structures that often surround being able to get justice and being believed. Seriously, this book is stunning.
