When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore

4.0

3.5 This was a very beautifully written book and I really enjoyed the themes it represented. The main characters were persons of color and one was transgender. Another side character was lesbian. I believe another was bisexual. There was definitely good representation in this book. The writing was very flowery which took a little bit to get used to but after I found myself really enjoying the story. Magical realism can be either hit or miss for me and this fell in the middle. I understood most of what was going on by the rest of the time I was just confused.
