Sometimes ‘classics’ don’t need a resurgence and I’m wondering why both LGBTQ classics I’ve read this year are also full of racism/antisemitism/inner misogyny? 

The amount of times the N word was used as well as the many antisemitic comments are disgusting. Since the author added an authors note for this rerelease, I wish she would’ve addressed that.

will i recommend this book to people ? yes. did i enjoy reading about

Spoiler

“incest” within the first few chapters as well as rape scenes between the MC and one of her love interests ? not really 😭

however, i was able to relate to and understand plenty of things in here in regards to my relationship with lesbianism as well as the world around me.
