It was a bit slow at the start for me, but once I got used to the style, the story really hits. A must read for LGBT+ fiction.

Gorgeous sapphic bildungsroman with a sprinkle of "Napoleon Dynamite", a pinch of Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" but sticks the landing much better with more nuance than either.

I love this book so much.
