A sweet story submitted by brady.emmett on July 25, 2016, 6:03pm My heart was in turns broken and completely filled as I read this book. It is full of remarkable scenes, and it well worth the read.
A Tense but Satisfying Read submitted by Maria Maguire on June 22, 2018, 4:35pm Offering a glimpse into what it is like to like as a young lesbian in a country where homosexuality is illegal, this story is at times disquieting. This book doesn't quite have a happy ending, but ends on a note that is hopeful and feels like it fits the story well. A good read.
