A mix
"Here they are. Two sets of sneakers on a scrap of metal. Two girls in the middle of a hurricane, tearing down the line. She's looking up at Jane, and Jane's looking down at her, and August feels her everywhere, even the places she's not touching, pressed close as the world roars on."
This book is both an absolute delight and a sad, tender exploration of queer history and trauma. It's less romance-heavy than I was expecting, but I actually really loved the mystery and magical realism elements and how everything came together (and did like the romance a lot too!). There's also SUCH a brilliant cast of side characters and loads of great commentary and important themes being explored.
It's definitely toxic of me but I was slightly underwhelmed/disappointed by the ending and wished things had taken a bit of a different direction or at least not been tied up so nicely - BUT I still just loved the reading experience so much overall and this story and its characters will definitely stay with me <3
