Reverence
by Milena McKay
3.50
Okay usually I go through books with such quickness but this one took me until the middle to really want to pick it up and transfer myself into the story.
Voicing that, there was some beautiful words and statements in this read that I enjoyed. McKay is a gorgeous writer that I will be reading some more of her works eventually.
Moving forward. I do wish there was a word/phrase bank to define some terms so I wouldn’t have to keep googling them as I know very little of ballet, especially old ballet set in different countries lol..
Breaks my heart that Juliette— in my mind— seemed to want to injure herself? She’s such a lover and everything she did for said love that she yearned just turned sour. And gosh while I do hate third act breakups, this one was HEAVY!
I know this is a rivals to lovers, but I never felt as if it was such. Jett literally was putty from first in person meet, Katarina never really did anything— until after they were an item— but be “cold”. The love between our mains wasn’t really felt mutually strong to me until after the accident. Yet I did feel the brewing during the closet scene and when Katarina opened up but the exchange of I love you didn’t feel real or convincing till after. Can say though that once everything came to light regarding to intentions between everything Katarina did and how she felt after the time jump, is when I felt the mutually strong love that I wasn’t really feeling in the first moments.
Side note I loved Francesca so much like that diva! But after what she did, I don’t know. Broke my heart and I don’t know how I feel, even though I know it was in what she thought ’good fate’.
Also fuck Theory and his weird and inconsiderate ass! Why tf would he do that to our Gabe!!!
**SPOIL**
AND GABE OH MY GABEEE WHYYY MUST ALL BEAUTIFUL THINGS—- A TRUCK!? Author really played us like a fiddle with that BS! Ugh!!!
**SPOIL CONCLUDED**
The ending was oh so beautiful. The light staying on. The confessions. Being each other’s home. And also the inside look of a lesbian couple procreating in such a time!
To end my review. I love the care put into the story. The mention of HIV and the history of it, Deflecting, sexuality, the gross ways people were treated in other countries and how women were looked at and treated as well.
