So this was actually a really weird read for me, and I'd probably actually give it like 3.5 stars instead of four, but I think it's because I don't know what to do with it. It reads like a lesbian pulp novel sometimes? It's beautifully written, it's just also such a product of its Time in some ways. This might be more of a book club/classroom read than something for me to read on my own, and I do want to talk about it with other people. It was just such a Gay Tragedy Piece that was probably super huge when it came out but now is a storyline that feels super old and pretty uninspiring to me. I do appreciate it as a Piece of Art, but it's not super my thing and that's kind of disappointing, honestly. But I do recommend it and want other people to read it so I can suss out what exactly I didn't love about it!
