Oleander: A Great Expectations Reimagining by Scarlett Drake

4.0

---

I’ve never read Great Expectations, nor do I feel the need to. I can’t imagine it’s as queer as this. This was beautiful and emotional, and I was invested from the beginning. For the most part, I really loved the writing. A devastating love story that comes with a hard-won conclusion is just my type of book, and this one didn’t disappoint.
