5.0

this is an exceptional novel. Malinda Lo is a hero for gathering all of the history she did for this and I am absolutely going to read everything in her bibliography as well. This story is so well done, it feels like a love letter to butches and femmes and it tells a story often forgotten especially in the study of butchfemme relationships. Lily was incredible, Cath was so cute, the way lily dealt with her family, her culture, her friends and her sexuality was masterful. I would suggest this to anyone interested in lesbian history, Chinese-American history, the history of space travel, and just general post ww2 history. I love history I love lesbians I love this book
