Very well written and beautiful lesbian coming of age story placed in a conservative community. I felt a rollercoaster of emotions reading this—excitement, deep sadness, rage, etc.—all of which showed how truly powerful the story is. I love the dedication to portraying authentic queer experiences and also to showing the horrors of conversion therapy for what they are. I was worried I would lose interest during part three, but it actually did a great job of keeping me engaged while showing a completely different experience that many queer youth unfortunately do live through. I loved the ending and the hope it left for the future of the characters. There’s so much more I could say about this but I’ll leave it at that.
