I am so glad I got to read this book. The ending felt a little anticlimactic, but that is my only real complaint. You feel like you are walking through life with Lilly and her relatives. I would read this book again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone.

Despite this book taking place in the 1950s, it reflects some of the modern-day feelings of being queer in an unacceptable environment. It handles the interactions of race, sexuality, and income in the time of the Red Scare and how all of these identities affect each character's life. Great read overall!
