reading this was like eating a warm cherry pie with whipped cream on top, and then finding an olive (pit) in the middle (but in a good way?)

Like chafing swim suits or a sugar rush, this book ran hot and grimy. Through experimental prose, Canary dialect, and set at the base of an active Volcano, nine and ten year-old's, Shit and Isora live through the feverish summer of early pubescence. Abreu captivated me with this gross yet magnetic exploration of budding sapphic sexuality.

it was so heartbreaking yet sooo beautiful. it’s about queer girlhood experience, friendships, growing up, yearning like everything. also absolutely LOVED the writing style. so well crafted.
