 Thank you Net Galley, W&N and Orion Publishing Group for giving me an ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

I loved this book. The writing was just brilliant and I felt so emotionally attached to this book. The characters had so much depth and complexity that you really got to know them and easily saw character development. 

Additionally, the diversity within this book and the stories it told was just beautiful. A South Asian Lesbian protagonist and a gender fluid Black character, with both amazingly written stories which clearly had so much love and care put into the characters to reflect their communities. 

The writing flowed so smoothly, making it very easy to read and keep up with what was going on. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because I tend to read books with a bit more action and events happening, but this is such a great book.

I would recommend this book to anyone - I really enjoyed reading this.
