An interesting read to be sure. Reading something like a daily journal from both POV’s is something I’ve not read before.

The subject matter is pertinent to struggles of the lgbtq+ community and is definitely worth the read.

This book was great! While I've done some reading from various Caribbean islands, this book was unique in its portrayal of the two main characters' homeland in comparison to the mainland. While Judith never wanted to leave the island, Sola wanted nothing more by the time she was out. When the two meet, they're surprised to discover how their lives intersect and reluctant to admit their feelings toward each other. But their romance is hardly that, and instead this book explores the prejudices of two women from different backgrounds who grew up near each other and then moved, for similar reasons, to a place that would let them recreate themselves - if they could only figure out how. In their similarities and differences in outlook, the tumultuous budding friendship between the two exposes their past pain and the walls they've created to save themselves.
