Do you want lush and lyric writing that you can get lost in full of longing and tenderness and magic?  I got you. “When the Moon Was Ours” by Anna-Marie McLemore is a gorgeous coming of age YA #PrideSFF #book about two best friends dealing with growing into their gender, race, family, and magic.  Miel grows roses from her wrist and Sam paints moons and hangs them from trees.  It’s a book to read all day in a summer hammock with a tall lemonade and cicadas screaming in the background.

(I fully recommend the rest of their books as well.)
