I really enjoyed reading this book! I loved the queer representation throughout and the evolution of Elsie's storyline through the focus on poetry to her relationship with Juliet. The style of writing had parallels for me of Caleb Azumah Nelson's Open Water - lyrical and soulful. I'd highly recommend if you're looking for a black queer love story to get lost in.
