5 stars doesn't seem like enough for this book. It'll make you laugh. It'll make you cry. And it'll make you cry some more. The author makes you feel every single word and scene in your heart. I highly recommend!

Wooooow. I’m still absorbing how this book made me feel. But there’s so many hot topics in here I’m just very, VERY impressed with the author for writing such a wonderful novel and hitting all those spots just so… *chefs kiss*

Though I enjoyed parts of this book, found the nuances of the characters and their flaws endearing at parts, it just was not my favorite book. I have seen so many positive reviews about how life changing this book is. To be honest, I just expected more. I love the idea of what it could’ve been. I thought it was going to be more of a historical fiction book that focused on the sapphic relationship in the book. I just felt like the only truly developed character was Evelyn, and I didn’t really enjoy some of how the time passed in the book. Parts went slow, then fast out of no where. It was hard to keep track of everything. I just feel like so much was missing/could’ve been improved upon.

Wow- this is a beautifully heavy story about truth and love and loss. I wish I hadn’t finished it so I can experience it for the first time again.
