The fact that lesbian is a word used throughout this book is so heartwarming. And the fact that lesbian is also used to promote this book, it is so very inspiring. It gives lesbians, especially brown lesbians, a chance to look at themselves as main characters that are so loveable. These characters while they end up dead, do end up having a happy ending which can be somewhat unseen in media when it comes to lesbians. They have happy endings that are relevant and appropriate for their situation. This book made me feel loved, sad, and seen.
