This book has everything! It's magical, weaving, and full of grief and yearning. It's gay, sexy, and deeply invested in sisterhood and family. This book is healing. 10/10 recommend 💫

This is such a beautifully written book, one you luxuriate in and savour for every word, sentence and page. 

I absolutely loved the characters and the way their stories intertwined. I loved their complex relationships with each other and themselves, and the secondary characters were brilliant.
