I am sitting here wondering how I can put what this book made me feel into words. I jumped into this book like I was on fire and it was a fresh pool of water, the words being the only thing that could put out my flame. This book is about so much more than romance, it’s about processing grief and how you move through it and eventually past it. It’s about all the shapes and sizes that love comes in–not just romantic love. The prose is lyrical, the visuals were visceral, the characters were vibrant in their stories. I wanted to live in this bubble Emezi created, I found myself wanting more of everything once it ended. I cared so much past the pages of this book I craved more from their love from their friendships. I wanted more of their journey. I wanted to stay in this world they created. This book was sensual and sexy and showed the mess that it is to be human and I loved every minute of it.
