The Price of Salt, or Carol by Patricia Highsmith

My First Sapphic Story™️

4/5: Lovely love story. At first I wasn’t convinced because the first part was really drawn out and because I didn’t care for the weird hot-and-cold dynamic between There and Carol. Part 2 was much more enjoyable to me. Many of the little details that until then seemed repetitive or inconsequential were finally given meaning in my eye. We also finally see the love story bloom and unexpected character development that made me grow fond of both women. I really feel grateful to the many people who recommended it to me. I am usually one for gloomy stories, but I really think I can get used to this flavour of sweetness.

Ps. Very excited to watch the on-screen adaptation Carol (2015)!
