"Read my full review over at

Zahabi shows with her novel just how much representation matters. A female world-champion. A gay professional weaver. It can make all the difference. As a society, we need for those in the public eye to be proud of who they are because—like it or not—representation helps change the world.

As a lesbian, I can say that the subject of homophobia is incredibly well handled, and if I had a young adult in my household, I’d buy them this book in the hope of giving them some guidance and courage to stand up for themselves and others.

To fight for a better future, and perhaps, with our youth reading stories like this one, we can avoid the next setback after all."

"tear in my eye. That’s all I can say I don’t wanna spoil anything for anyone who hasn’t read it but it makes you appreciate what love really is."
