3.75

overall, this book is a necessary piece in the larger literary world. it gives a voice to an underrepresented community and is a gift to be given an invitation into this world. as a multi-racial non-binary queer i definitely experienced a myriad of reactions and emotions to characters and happenings.

it definitely took me awhile to really settle into the story and it wasn't until the last 75ish pages that i realized how invested i was.

beautiful and heartbreaking, provocative and well-written.
