Really enjoyed this book a lot. I want to re-read it ( not on audiobook !) I loved this book and  appreciated rhe notes at the end. Much more my taste in books than a scatter of light

It felt well-paced in the beginning, and then incredibly slow in the middle, and then wayyyyy too fast in the end. Story-wise there was so much there but I was still left unsatisfied bc a lot of interesting moments were glossed over. And as an adult I felt uncomfortable reading
the sex scene since these girls are 17.
I guess as YA I expected romance but not to that degree; I generally might’ve gained more from this book had I read it in HS. 

The attention to detail in the historic timeline and setting was sooooo good and I really enjoyed the whole atmosphere. The author’s note at the end was also well done and informative.

Overall the slightly lower star value is due to the story feeling very unbalanced. But I did love the plot and characters (though Kath deserved more depth)

leggere quanto sia stato difficile (e sapere quanto lo sia ancora) per le persone queer semplicemente esistere e vivere una vita degna di essere chiamata tale mi spezza il cuore. una storia bellissima e tanto necessaria. ❤️
