wow. what do i say? this book captivated me immediately. the writing leaves you wanting to know ever little detail of every incident that happened in this small town setting. i’m speechless. i loved all of this. i think more representation about queer stories and adults is needed and lenhardt did just that.
nora and sophia were lovers as teenagers, something i’ve experienced myself, and it’s hard especially when there’s an expectation. i loved it. although i did find the story to drag on a little bit too much. but at the same time i felt as if when you thought things would be resolved, they simply weren’t and the problems expanded. i loved the messiness of this book. huge trigger warnings, check tags.
