emotional inspiring sad fast-paced

This passion that can’t be talked about, that has to be concealed, gives way to the terrible question: ‘If it isn’t talked about, how can one know it really exists?’

A mesmerizing, otherworldly portrayal of the queer experience. Its last page will stay with me for the rest of my life. A story that makes me embrace my own queerness and feel grateful that I have so much love within me.

similar vibes to Édouard Louis + Annie Ernaux + Luca Guadagnino … all of whom I like.  very sad and economically depressed French countryside vibes + a coming of age love story that’s doomed to fail — what’s not to love???
