This book was written so beautifully. It made me fall in love, it broke my heart, it frustrated me and it made me whole.

Literally if Naked in Manhattan and Good Luck, Babe became a book. I’ve just realized (again) I’m not like the biggest fan of literary fiction, there’s so many words per word. It creates some beautiful prose that really moves you and makes you think, but I’m basic and just like to know what conversations they’re having and the silly day to day trivialities. I also HATE in writing when dialogue uses the single apostrophe instead of the double quotation marks, but the novel was good enough that I could overlook it and read it like normal. Fun time, lovely sapphic prose, definitely recommend.
