I just know this book would've changed my life had I been alive when it first came out. Still, I loved every second of it now.
Therese's obsessive personality was so interesting especially compared to the way Carol is portrayed. Home girl fell first, harder, and to a crazier level and I respect that. I really appreciated the times it was insinuated, between the lines and silences, what was truly going on between the women which added such a closeness to the narration that I feel the women who enjoyed this book first could truly understand and relate to.
I genuinely think this is an extraordinary book that honestly deserves the classic title. I don't think there's a single lesbian that doesn't know about it.
