This book was amazing !! If you’re into historical fiction and into queer discovery then I’d recommend this !! Also I’d recommend to read the Authors Note because it gives out some inspiring and informative information and history about what is like to be queer, Asian America, and most especially lesbian in the 1950s plus nineteen century. Please read this book. It is outstanding and  beautiful. 5 stars.  ⭐️

I see why this is so popular. I think if I found this at the right time it would have been absurdly impact, but even as an adult I quite enjoyed it.
