I have nothing bad to say about this book. I’d heard amazing things for some time prior to reading it, which had me quite eager to finally get to it. It didn’t disappoint. Lo’s writing is lovely while also being easy to read, and I quite liked both Lily and Kath. I think queer historical fiction is fascinating—it’s sad, seeing the way LGBTQ+ people were treated back then, but it’s also comforting, proof that we’ve always existed and always will, no matter what society thinks of or throws at us. I definitely want to read more of it in the future, and buy a copy of this book—which, by the way, I definitely recommend.

(It’s midnight and I have a headache and no spoons so idk if this fully makes sense, but I’m going with it.)
