Loved 🫶
• Having a main character who is exploring her sexualit and sexual expression as well as a love interest who is a masculine presenting lesbian and other character  who are also butches and femmes is very powerful 

• The author knew who her target audience was and the effort and research put into this books about Chinese and queer history is something to be appreciated 


Did not like 
• The flashbacks, even thought I understand why they are necessary (I get it it gives me information about relationship dynamics and the history of Lily's family) I felt like, as a reader, they were just kinda boring and I was always hoping to get through them so I could get to the interesting story

• It has a lot of triggers, especially for someone queer or who is a minority
