This is the review I’m leaving at 1AM so my thoughts aren’t exactly coherent right now.
All I can say is … what? But in a good way yk.
The plot is practically nonexistent and definitely could’ve been 50 pages instead of 230 but I think that’s part of why I like it. The flashback to plot ratio is staggering. And I again think that’s why this book is so good.
The ending left me confused because I still had so many questions the book didn’t answer but I think the book knew this so I will say good writing.
I would really like to see this as a movie if given the right director.
Read this if you like weird as hell sapphic books that are like if Sailor Song by Gigi Perez was in a minor key.
