Amani Minter did a great job with this audio!!!
Im so shocked this book isn’t considered literary. The verse/prose is beautiful and poetic and it’s not a lot happening. The mc is supposed to be a 16yo reflecting on her complex queer relationship but it reads more like a 20somethings thinking back on her relationship at 16. I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing and the author’s note kinda solidified that for me. Either way I thought this book really embodied the complex relationships queer women can have in this heteronormative society.
