Wow. Nothing burns as bright as you deals with two best friends who take their friendship one step further. The relationship between them is intense. Very intense and not particularly healthy for either. They both want things that neither can provide. A terrible night and a fire changes their lives forever and their worlds spiral out of control. Their pain is palpable. This book weaves itself in and out from past, present and back again though it is ultimately over the course of one day. This method allows the history of the girl's relationship to unfold slowly.
I love verse novels and this is up there in intensity and characterisation. An excellent read.

This is a very dramatic YA novel-in-verse about a toxic relationship between two queer girls. It's powerful, and I enjoyed it! I will definitely recommend this.
