I quite literally love this book with my whole heart, and although a year has gone by since I read it, I still think of it often. One of the first books I read that had three openly lesbian characters who were sometimes great, sometimes shitty, but always trying their absolute hardest. A little gem.

Also Anna Livia please text me I'm free for dinner

I found it very interesting to learn about the characters and goddesses. Nothing held back goes deep.
