heartbroken. i need to stop reading lesbian trauma novels; however, this one was  beautiful I may just have to continue with more. I related so painfully hard to lucy and want so much to be more like susannah.

“My love now seems to be an aggressive, political thing. It is the ceaseless search for an identity and then committing to that identity. It is a fight to exist in my own home.”

I closed this book shut and the first thing I did was text my girlfriend how lucky I am to live in the era of being able to choose her and love her so freely and loudly.

This book absolutely gutted me. I loved reading Lucy grow up, fall in love, weigh the pressures of the expectations around her, and the full journey of deciding who she is on her own. This was an epically beautiful story.
