This is such a gorgeous novella. Emerald is an interesting character and I really enjoyed spending time with her. She puts up with her cruel family, specifically her mother and sister, who are angry at her for choosing to dance at a club rather than work at a chicken factory. 

Her solace is her love interest Zara, who is a mysterious, pretty and fascinating character in her own way. I highly recommend this to readers who are into gothic and sapphic books. :)
