This was such a lyrical book that was so beautifully captured the experience of falling in love and how fragile that is. Mwah chefs kiss

This dovetailed nicely with last month’s favorite A Little Devil in America. Lots of music and a reference to Abdurraqib.

I enjoyed the lyrical writing style, it just wasn’t for me. It got too repetitive and constantly referenced other media; genuinely every chapter it referenced at least 2 books in depth.
