decided to read this in the backyard with my noise cancelling headphones on. this was sucha lovely intimate read, i didn’t expect to have such raw emotions and connection to the characters but this one definitely is a recommendation for those who are wanting to read abt self, identity, sexuality, one-sided love, relationships
