Description

A raw, shimmering portrait of obsession and the ache of becoming, this novella captures the precise, dizzying intensity of a queer awakening. The story follows a young woman navigating the turbulent landscape of her own desires, finding herself caught in the gravitational pull of an older, magnetic woman. What unfolds is a delicate exploration of the lines between adoration and dependency, the glory of new love, and the quiet pain that often shadows such profound connections. The writing feels startlingly intimate, as if you have stumbled upon a private diary left open on a bedside table. There is a gentle, lyrical quality to the prose that makes the character development feel earned and deeply human. It is a story that validates the messy, all-consuming nature of early queer relationships, offering a mirror to anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of their own heart. If you are looking for a read that honors the vulnerability of self-discovery and the transformative power of being truly seen by another, this book is a necessary companion. It is a tender, sharp, and unforgettable reminder that the intensity of our past loves is exactly what shapes the people we are today.

Amazing and emotional (in a good way)

I started reading this book this morning and finished it this evening: amazing and gentle queer read. Caldwell does an excellent job painting the story in such a way that the reader is easily able to fall in love with the love interest, Finn, and just as easily able to develop an immense hatred and longing for the character, as well as sympathy for the main character. I have highlighted many anecdotes for the book and pondered not only what Caldwell meant, but what the writings meant to me personally. This book will definitely grace my bookshelf over the years and will appear dog earred and obviously well read. 10/10

This book is very good and interesting since tells the story of a straight woman who fall in love with a lesbian and shows a scenario almost unkown for most of the women. Straight women falling in love of Lesbian women.... yes, that's possible and Chloe Caldwell tells that so beautiful!

This is not a cookie cut novel!

Great literary style. Subtle character development. This book reads like the pages of a diary that has the understanding someone will read it. Eventually. Dialog is quaint and sufficient which I prefer. The main character is somewhat neurotic but too unaware to say such a thing. Despite being in the LGBTQ genre, this book is more about finding love where one had not looked before. Gender could easily be replaced with race which is for some, still another taboo.
