this is a book about the day after. about all the pain they caused and the wounds that we try our best to sew up. it is about the effect of communal love.
and god how desperate i am for these stories. the revolutionary aspect of it all. jakobson coming of age romance is kind and funny. it's for us survivors in the exact way we don't get to see all to often. old enough isn't about our abuse, it's not about victimhood.
