Update 20240218:
This book did not disappoint the second time around. I forgot a lot of things that had happened, especially the twist ending. 

What an absolutely wonderful novel about the power of friendship, revolution, and women’s sexuality. 

Og review: 
I cannot believe that this was the first Heather O’Neill that I’ve read. 

Exquisitely written 

A beautiful exploration of love, sexuality, gender, and class. 

I honestly can’t think of a more perfect book right now. 

George deserves better 

Thank you to Harper Collins for giving me access to an arc through my work #indigoemployee
