This felt like Big L literature. It feels profound as you’re reading, it’s deep and in some ways even magical. 

I really enjoyed reading this. It’s not a book you can zoom through though. It requires you to sit with it and really take your time. 

There were times I was frustrated. I wanted it to be more in your face and more celebratory of queer lives. But the ending fits so perfectly I forgave the book. And there was clearly so much thought and research put into it. 

This is a really fabulous book, queer historical fiction rooted in truth. It doesn’t seek to rewrite history, instead it paints a picture of what life would have been like for queer people at this time.
