This book had great potential and I agree that this story is perfect with the lens of queer love. But it was one of those stories where you can’t root for anyone and it’s not clear who the villain is. And I’m not sure it was love or if it was obsession but it sure wasn’t love by the end. The story really derailed fast and I couldn’t keep track. Happy Pride!

Poetic, slow and very delicately written for most of the book. But the last part is rather violent, brutal and sad.
A very special book

'There is another Eden within me. I have it nestled between the heat of love. This is love.' Forever changed by this book, sad I can't read it again for the first time.

i have no words. all of them were taken from me upon finishing this book. it was so beautiful and i am astonished

After the roller coaster of emotions I just went through, I don't have any final words.
