A book that left me feeling bereft when I finished it. A masterpiece of writing and characterisation. It really drums home the trials and struggles of the LGBTQ+ community in a time that doesn't feel that long ago. The dual Timeline works brilliantly, even though I was questioning it at the beginning, it all came together seamlessly. The characters were so real and you couldn't help feel attached to them throughout. A really fantastic piece of writing!
