Not necessarily bad but this took me forever to read. Months. So slow. But there were some scenes I really loved.

A stunning stunning novel. Weaves an emotional and sweet story of first love amongst a carefully researched historical context. Lily and Kath's love and the barriers they faced in 1950s San Francisco, as well as the commentary on the treatment of Asian Americans at the time was really well done. A moving portrait of what it might have been like to be a young Asian American lesbian in the 50s. A book that will stay with me for a while.
