contain spoilers: While this book is well written and true to Kent’s beautiful writing style. it is so incredibly sad and bitterly disappointing to read a queer story like this written by a queer person when it hold a lot of homophobic messages. On the surface this seems like a lovely unrequited love story.
While I’m sure it was not the authors intention, I really wished that this book was different. There are countless narratives of LGBT hardship, we don’t need more.

Such a beautiful book. The emotion leaps off the page and I was stunned by the beauty of the language. It’s fills the heart and breaks it at the same time.
