Fine, I don’t hate it, it’s a good book that I connected with deeply and it isn’t without hope.
What I really hate is that LIFE is melancholy. Not melancholy as in the space between happy and sad, rather, there is joy AND sadness and neither invalidates the other. No amount of happiness will erase grief, just as walls built up by loneliness are not impenetrable when faced with a tight hug and fierce, stubborn love.
If you want an honest story (and quick read) about navigating loss, it’s a pretty good book. If you’re looking for a cute sapphic romance, not the move. But I will say it again— it is not without hope. It’s woven with lovely snippets of grandfather/granddaughter bonding and young queer love, and even though it made me cry a lot, the title is right: they are okay.
