This was such a healing read--an excellent portrayal of long-term partnership (readable as lesbian or queer-platonic) that explores aging, non-normative methods for meaning-making, and the value of distance even while living together.

this is a lot like the lesbian frog and toad but with the complexity of entire orbits… which is to say this is in fact a perfect little book with very big ideas hidden within charming little mundane scenarios that i could just live inside. truly, truly wonderful

This book reads more like a series of short stories about the same two main characters than a linear novel. The chapters are mostly focused on their interactions in relation to their art, ideas, and mature years. It’s different and I had a little trouble placing my opinions about it but it’s also elegantly written and I appreciated their friendship.
