This book was a delight. The writing put me right into the scenery, and I really felt like I was with the characters. I loved Lily and her growth and her coming to accept herself.

this was a good book! personally I thought it was gonna be like super good cause of all the amazing reviews I read but it didn’t fully live up to that. It’s still really good though! Tbh lily bugged me at times and idk why, my fav character was probably kath or lana honestly. this book made me cry at the end though :((

I'm in love, i kept wanting to come back to this book while at work, it was constantly on my mind. The perfect balance of queer love and historical understanding. It felt rooted in its time but told the story of centuries.
