i don't think i have the words to write how beautifully written this book was
the characters are complex and interesting and very human in their flaws and their quest of trying to find a meaning to life itself, the representation feels organic and it is so important to show that LGBTQ+ people were not invented in the 2000s
the two stories were nicely woven in one another, with a touch of a magical realism
