i really took my time with this (thank you law firm job) but that hasnt minimised its effect on me at all
as a sapphic girl it is so meaningful to read stories like this and though i do think this was a bit slow at times the story itself is so impactful and my heart aches to think about all the women who came before me who could not be with their love
i certainly could not be without my abs

i expected more tbh. the first half was way too slow and the ending felt very rushed. i liked it nevertheless but it’s not as good (in my opinion) as many praise it to be

I adore this book a lot. SO well researched!! I adore the characters alot, ironically especially Lily's family :) And it was so interesting to read about the historical setting and the life of Chinese Americans in that time period as well. It genuinely felt so real and honest. Very glad I was able to read this story!
