The book is called a Lesbian classic and when the reader keeps in mind the time and place the book was written, then you’ll realize that it was and still is revolutionary. I really liked how the author divided the novel in two major parts: The main part is a regular coming of age novel with queer couples and the whole narration is done in a way that shows that queer couples are just like any other couples. The other parts are the notes of a crocodile and in those the author addresses the social stigmas LGBT people have to deal with. At times I thought the narration was too introverted and the dialogues lame, but I still thinks it’s worth reading and recommending.
