I loved this book. It was written so well, and I felt fully immersed in the story the whole way through. It had such a beautiful historical feel to it.

this could have been so good but

as soon as they arrested the friend it went downhill SO FAST. devastating. and I know it's historically accurate for it to be devastating, but tbh i want all books to give all queer people happy endings.

...definitely check the trigger warnings.
