"L-o-v-e is beautiful. Do you know that, Elsie? It doesn't always have to hurt."

@livslittle has written an utterly gorgeous, evocative story of a sapphic black woman struggling to make it as a poet in London. 

A big theme within the book is the idea of community. Whether it's finding your found family, losing your communities safe spaces and creating new ones. It's about finding your voice and carving out the life you want. It's finding your person, and battling the things in the way. 

This book is so addictive. I found myself lost in the pages, almost missing my stop on the train. It's beautifully written, the characters lift on the page, and you really feel yourself in the different places that the story is set. 

Rosewater is a gorgeous must read, out 20th April
