emotional
mysterious
reflective
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
5.0
(Slight spoilers, nothing crazy)
This book has a way of drawing you in, it was the first one in a while I found myself making extra time to read. I love that it was co-authored by a trans woman because queer story lines written by queer people just hit different. Finding out what actually happened to Lily and the relationship between Olivia and another character felt a little rushed at the end, but I’ll probably end up recommending this book to friends if asked.
