This book was so beautiful and eye-opening as it’s clear that everything is written from the author’s heart (and I assume also personal experiences). I do feel that the vignettes in between each section took away from Lily’s (and also Kath’s) journey, and I think the communism tidbits got a little bit lost (or in my opinion, weren’t particularly needed) throughout the story. I’m happy that there’s going to be a companion book for this because I just want Lily and Kath to be happy goddammit!
