“I’m immensely jealous of McLemore’s beautiful prose, and I could feel so much love in this book.”
“I really enjoyed the themes of this book and thought the characters were really interesting. I loved the message it communicated.
I did find there were a few moments that were a little confusing and some elements were not explained and so did not make sense but generally it was very enjoyable.”“anna-marie mclemore possesses a magnificent command of language that turns everything they write into a glowingly iridescent study of love and identity.
despite this book's short length, it has taken me nearly a month to read in its entirety; i could feel the care and intention put into this work through each turn of a page, and was hooked by every word.
with that being said, it was a bit slow-paced for my preferences. the writing occasionally became a little too flowery, and that was when i had to put it down and turn to something else. despite that, i adored this book and would highly recommend it.
tl;dr: wonderful, but too slow for my preferences.”
