I feel like I was introduced to a lot of niche people in a short amount of time. The author references a lot of people prominent in the literature community that I have never heard of. They also reference a lot of literature theory. It was hard to understand what was being communicated due to these niche references. 

I enjoyed her advice on love and her pov of what it’s like to come out, leave a relationship, start a new relationship, etc

Favorite line, “let me say that love has been, above all things, the engine of self-knowledge in my life—and even after everything is still what makes the rest worth suffering.”

I disliked the narrator very much and so had a hard time enjoying the book. I relate to the heartache but just couldn’t get into this.

This was a fun sapphic read after I took an edible. Some of the poems seemed a bit pretentious, but I think I got it all.
