This is one of the best books I’ve read in a while. I love the writing style, it’s well-paced, and the plot itself is so captivating - especially Evelyn and Celia’s love story. I love sapphic stories so much. Also, may or may not have teared up several times…

The only thing I didn’t love about this was that the reveal towards the end felt a tad rushed, and a little too much like a twist just for the shock factor.
It maybe could have been more impactful if Evelyn told Monique the truth about her father a little earlier on, so that we could explore more of Monique’s feelings about it instead of only hearing her perspective after the end of Evelyn’s story.


I really enjoyed this overall. Definitely read if you get the chance!
