oh my god this book made me so so sad but so hopeful at the same time!! seeing em forster’s contemporary hope for a “happier year” made manifest in this book made me cry so bad. it’s a story of a redemption, divorcing oneself from the society and people who hold us back and choosing between conformity and happiness. it’s super sad for a while, but the ending is so worth it! a great read to take on this pride ❤️🏳️‍🌈
