I wanted to love this book so much, there’s not many books about queer black girls. I really thought I would rate this 5 stars but the writing style made it so difficult to enjoy. Listening to the audiobook helped but not enough. And one of the many things I didn’t understand were Mabel’s dreams, they made no sense! The ending stoped this book form being a 3 star read. I hate the ending, it makes no sense for me and really ruined the book.

This was very emotional and a beautiful story about love and loss and being yourself and relationships. Lots of girl love.
