such a beautiful read!!! my only complaint is that the author often used a lot of descriptions of streets in san francisco, it gets quite confusing and difficult to picture if you're not from there. besides that I really liked the writing style. as someone who's the age of lily and kath, I thought their relationship was realistic. not too sexual in nature but also not completely clean. the pacing was great, the short chapters made me feel like I was making progress. had no filler chapters, it felt like each one had a part in moving the story forward. and THAT scene with tommy andrews and lily was SO HOT!!! I'm definitely gonna go buy her perfume so I can get ladies 🏃🏽‍♀️

I found that the book was a good middle ground but not something I was obsessed over.
In the beginning I found it quite boring, since it had too much description of things for my taste and I nearly put it down. Only around chapter 8 I felt like it was going somewhere.

I know that the relationship between Lily and Kath is not the only focal point of the story but I still found it quite short. It didn't feel rushed but was missing.
Making it okay to continue reading but not a necessity born from curiosity about how the story would end.

That said I know I'm not the target group since I'm white so take everything with a grain of salt.

This book would’ve been a 5 star read if it weren’t for a few sections that felt unnecessary to me

I really loved this story. I have a lot of gaps in my history knowledge and so a lot of this information was newer for me to read. I loved Lily the main character and the relationships that she explores throughout the book.

Her perspective was so interesting to me and I was fully immersed in her story.

Minor spoils:

The romance was incredibly sweet and I thought the characters were adorable in exploring their sexuality and love for each other.

I also feel like I gained a lot of insight from reading from this perspective - especially during this time period. A lot of what it covers wasn't really taught in school and I feel like that this history is important for everyone to know.
