Got an eArc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Second read (April 11, 2022):
Rating: Upgraded to 5 stars
A poem written in verse. This second read made me more sympathetic toward Edgar and understanding toward her mother. This has been on my mind these past few weeks. I want a book 2 ðŸ˜

Rating: 4.5
I enjoyed reading this. Though, to those who are used to poems that are not in a way of telling a story, a literal story, this is not for you. This is in a form of a poem, but a story is told page by page with dialogues. I don't like poems like those, but this is an exception because I really enjoyed reading this: it's about someone who knows he's gay but had trouble coming out even though his parents know; they just don't want to talk about it.
This was a breath of fresh air because it made me like a new form of poem unlike the others I've read.
