"Why did people talk of heaven, she wondered"
This book had me captured from start to finish. It was an absolute melodramatic lesbian mess in all the best ways. This is a gritty noir romance of two women trapped in a patriarcical understanding of what love and friendship mean and chronicles the inner turmoil that can come from expectations of "normality" pushed on the gay community. Carol's aloof attitude is felt as strongly as if you were Therese, and I was transported back to my angsty teenage lovey dovey ways in a way I never thought I could enjoy. A fantastic read.
Also, the movie is fantastic!
A warning, however, that there are a few minor grammatical and formatting errors in the Kindle edition.
