“My little words
feel important, just for a moment.
This is a feeling I could get used to.”

TW: sexism/misogyny, homophobia, strict religious parents

This book is written completely in verse.

Every single page, every single word, is part of a poem. It’s gorgeous and hard-hitting and powerful, and absolutely different from anything I’ve ever read before. I loved it.
