Malinda Lo has captured the young lesbian experience in a devastatingly vivid and accurate manner. This very well may be the first time I have seen my struggles as a teenager reflected in a novel.

Absolutely loved this (audio) book and its narrator, who did a great job! It was really easy to immerse and the story quickly grabbed my full interest. I think it's amazing to have a book about how things were for the queer community back in 1950s, yet doesn't have the devastating ending that I was low-key fearing. Loved Lily and Kath and Lily's exploration of her sexuality <3
