4.0

An emotional book, written like prose, about queerness and dying. A beautiful relationship illustrating different ways that queer love adapts when facing tragedy.

a bit too experimental for my liking, but the creativity is admirable and the execution is objectively great.

Really interesting narrative structure and a very dark vibe but hard to put my finger on... definitely a unique read but not one of my favorites. I probably need to do some more research around this book and it's context - I went in totally blind and I feel like I'm missing something.
