Before I began to read this book a little over a year ago, I decided to annotate it through a modern political lens: drawing parallels between the text and modern America. And when I tell you this was one of the best decisions I've made it recently. I highly recommend anyone thinking about reading this to look into the subtext, and reflect on how this book from almost a century ago relates to how we live in the present.

Although I feel that the writing style was a bit too juvenile for me to have truely enjoyed it, the pure love between Liza and Annie was so adorable and cathartic to read. While reading more queer literary fiction written about the past, its always fascinating to see how much progress has been made in the past forty years towards queer rights in more liberal-leaning places. This is definitely the reading experience where you recognize that if you had read it as few years prior, it would have probably impacted you more so.

I liked this book, but I just don't think that this text is as good as some of her other novels.
