This historical thriller's got romance, betrayal, and crazy drama, it's beautifully written, and the characters are awesome! It began slowly, but I soon became engrossed.

I was completely surprised by that person's identity as The Rat. The final chapters moved me to tears.

I do not think I have it in me to write a review of this book right now. I am emotionally wrecked by this story. It is so beautiful and funny and hopeful and tragic. I may come back and write more after I recover. For now I will say that, as an ally, I will "shout the battle cry" and hold space for the history of queer people. 4.5/5 stars
