No matter what happens next, no one can take that away from you.” After a yearslong streak of feel-good queer novels, T.J.

She would forget me. but perhaps I could make sure of it; even long after she was gone, the world would never forget her.” It took me a while to put my thoughts to paper, as this book gave me the biggest whiplash I’ve experienced in a long time.
