I can’t describe my love for this book but I find myself coming back to it again and again.
At the end of each last letter of that part of the POV I kept looking forwards to continuing their POV. And so on. I think it very well shows how gay relationships were being seen by outsiders in the 50’s.
It’s heartbreaking at times but it also made me feel incredibly joyful at others.
