i wish it was longer! i want to know more about butch, giovanni, and hella!! not a critique, but i wish it was in 3rd person only because i want to know more of giovanni and hella’s thoughts. i loved the order in which this story was told and baldwin’s observations of particular characteristics of people and places was so unique and interesting. so heartbreakingly beautiful. if you’re queer and haven’t read this, go buy yourself a copy!
