I really liked this. It took a while to get into, especially because of the four different points of view, and at first I wondered whether they were all needed. They were needed, but some main characters were stronger than others, so it felt like one of the four points of view was more of a convenience. The story was interesting though and took a turn that I didn't predict, which I like. And it's great to read some contemporary sapphic fiction that isn't purely romance.
