"We can wipe our minds clean...but we can't scrub our experiences out of our souls." - "Death's Country"


MANNNNN. What a great first read for 2024. An ode to Eurydice and Orpheus told in a polyamorous and queer way and told in the form of novel-in-verse...what a beautiful and captivating experience. Reading this book was beyond reading, it was finding things within oneself, it was thinking about what it truly means to love, and it was such a beautiful experience. Andres, Liora and Renee will live in my mind rent free for the rest of forever.

Romero has such a way with words and descriptions and novel in verse has always been one of my favorite ways of reading a novel. Ever since reading Ellen Hopkins when I was a teenager, it has always been such a beautiful form, and Romero really takes the idea here and RUNS with it. I am very honored to have gotten an ARC of this, and highly recommend it to anyone searching in their own darkness for a shred of light.
